New Delhi Municipal Council (NDMC) will re-float the tender for setting up Wi-Fi hotspots on 18,500 street light poles. This project also includes the replacement of street lights with LED bulbs and the installation of CCTVs on these poles.

Earlier on May 2015, the Delhi High Court had restrained Indus Towers and the NDMC from entering into any contract as the tender for the project did not prescribe specifications of the LED lights and CCTV cameras that were to be installed.

The move had come after Reliance Jio Infocomm Limited (RJIL) had approached the High Court seeking the quashing of Letter of Intent issued to Indus Towers by the NDMC. The company was of the view that Indus Towers was chosen as the successful party as it had submitted a bid for 20 years, while the contract period was for 10 years.
