The agreement covers the supply of a minimum multi-million fibre-kilometre (fkm) quantity annually starting calendar year 2026 to 2028, with an automatic extension for two additional years until 2030. Purchase orders will be issued periodically during the contract period based on project-specific and specification-based requirements.
Under the contract terms, HFCL’s wholly owned subsidiary will also be eligible to supply OFC to the assignees and authorised affiliates of the customer. The order has been awarded by an international entity and will be executed through December 2030.
The company said the agreement marks the first time in its history that it has secured a long-term, multi-year OFC supply arrangement of this scale, strengthening its competitive position in the global optical fibre cable market. The company also confirmed that no promoter or group company has any interest in the awarding entity, and the contract does not fall under related-party transactions.
