  "account": "Tata-owned Tejas Networks and state-owned C-DoT have declared that their equipment at Bharat Sanchar Nigam Ltd (BSNL) complies with or exceeds the quality-of-service standards set by the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI). Responding to BSNL's submission to the telecom regulator about proposed new quality-of-service norms, the companies countered a request for relaxation or a phased compliance schedule, citing the asymmetric obligation for indigenous (Make in India) equipment, a requirement not observed by other private telecom providers. BSNL's network performance, according to the telecom operator, remains limited by factors beyond its control in meeting stringent, technology-neutral benchmarks. The state-run telecom company reiterated its stance during recent open house discussions on the matter. When contacted by ET regarding BSNL's comments regarding indigenous equipment, both Tejas Networks and C-DoT emphasized that the equipment adheres to 3GPP standards and surpasses TRAI benchmarks.",
