Tata Consultancy Services will be the main beneficiary of the Bharat Sanchar Nigam (BSNL) 4G deal earning between 70-80% share of the deal value which is estimated to be a whopping $2.9 billion, sources in the know of the development told ET.

The remaining amount will go to Tejas Networks for radio access network equipment and Centre for Development of Telematics (CDoT) which are part of the TCS-led consortium, apart from ITI Limited which will deploy a fifth of the order.
