ITI, the loss-making state-run telecom equipment manufacturer, is working out ways to reduce dependency on BSNL and MTNL, the largest customers of the company. This has been necessitated by a significant
drop in the revenue contribution from these companies during the financial year 2010-11, K L Dhingra, CMD of ITI Ltd told Business Standard.
The company wants to reduce its revenue exposure to these companies to 60-65 per cent during the ongoing financial year, from the earlier 80-85 per cent, Dhingra said. ITI, which reduced losses in 2010-11 to Rs 382 crore from Rs 459 crore, reported a year ago, saw a significant drop in revenues in the year ended March 2011. The revenues of the company dropped over 54 per cent to Rs 2,101.2 crore compared to the previous year.
