Successfully executing a prestigious project and becoming the first Indian Company to repair a submarine cable

In February 2018, the 330-km long Bharat Lanka Undersea Cable System (BLCS) connecting India and Sri Lanka met with a fault near Tuticorin. Carrying Indian data traffic to Sri Lanka, the link laid in 2006 and jointly owned by BSNL and Sri Lanka Telecom, is of strategic importance. This made its timely and faultless repair essential. Typically, such work, requiring technical expertise has been handled by global companies. However, Paramount Cables took up the challenge. Leveraging the excellence of our marine and technical teams, we successfully delivered the project, becoming the first Indian company to repair an undersea cable system. With this execution, we now possess all technical and marine capabilities and expertise to repair any undersea cable across the Indian Ocean. This is critical in making India a self-dependent country for such specialized services.
