Statement issued by Motorola on BSNL court case

16 April 2007: On 9th October 2006, Motorola filed a petition in the Delhi High Court challenging its disqualification in the 45.5 million lines tender issued by BSNL. As a result of Motorola's petition and arguments presented by it in Court, BSNL has been unable to place any orders pursuant to this Tender during the pendency of the petition.

In view of the tremendous telecom growth taking place in the country and BSNL's petition of capacity constraints to have its share in this expansion, Motorola has decided to withdraw the case filed in the Delhi High Court. Withdrawal of the case by Motorola in no way reflects any change in Motorola's original position that its bid was in compliance with the Tender conditions.

Motorola is a global leader in wireless technologies including GSM, CDMA, UMTS, Wimax and will continue to play a meaningful role in the telecom domain in India with both current and emerging technologies.

BSNL is a valued customer for Motorola. Motorola looks forward to its continued partnership with BSNL and other customers to connect the un-connected.
