The optical-fibre network for the army and the navy costs INR80,980m ($1.7bn) while the similar project for Indian Air Force currently undergoing testing will cost INR91,750m ($2bn).
BSNL said that Indian defence would vacate the 45Mhz radio spectrum once it had built an alternative optical-fibre cable network for all the defence forces.
The Department of Telecommunications expects the defence forces to vacate the radio waves by September 2010.
