Tata Communications powers BSNL’s pan-India eSIM launch with MOVE platform

New Delhi: Tata Communications on Wednesday announced the successful deployment of its digital infrastructure solutions to support Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited’s (BSNL) newly launched eSIM services.

The services are powered by Tata Communications’ OSMA-accredited eSIM Subscription Management platform, 'MOVE', delivered through its wholly owned subsidiary, Tata Communications Collaboration Services Private Limited. The platform allows BSNL to provision eSIMs for mobile subscribers across India, enhancing next-generation connectivity.

BSNL’s eSIMs, enabled by Tata Communications MOVE, allow remote activation of mobile services via a secure QR code, eliminating the need for a physical SIM. The launch aims to improve customer experience with greater convenience, flexibility and security. Devices supporting dual-SIM functionality can use an eSIM alongside a physical SIM, facilitating secure connections while travelling abroad.

“The launch of Pan-India eSIM service represents a strategic advancement in our national telecom capabilities. With Tata Communications' strong connectivity experience and forward-looking Innovation, we are enhancing the flexibility, security, and efficiency of mobile services for citizens across India,” said A. Robert Ravi, Chairman and Managing Director of BSNL.

While the MOVE platform currently focuses on consumers, it is designed to scale for enterprise IoT applications, supporting the digital transformation of Indian businesses. In February, Tata Communications partnered with Microsoft to provide enhanced collaboration and connectivity on Microsoft Teams, allowing enterprise users to make carrier-grade PSTN voice calls globally through its GlobalRapide platform and Operator Connect service.
