Avantel has secured an ₹118 crore contract from India’s Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) for a ground segment hub. The deal is reported as worth ₹118 crore (₹118 cr) and involves execution by a specified deadline.

According to the reports, the contract is scheduled to be executed by February 2029. Both outlets frame the award as part of DRDO’s work related to ground systems, though they do not provide further technical details, scope breakdowns, or information about competing bids.

While the coverage is consistent on the headline figures—company, contracting agency, value, and execution timeline—there are no additional differing angles in the available summaries. Both sources align that the project will be completed by February 2029.
