Sterlite Technologies Tuesday said it has won a multi-year optical fibre deal worth Rs.250 crore from a leading Indian telco to deploy an optical fibre network across nine telecom circles.

India's data demand is growing and dense fiberisation is the need of the hour, STL said in a statement. In this nationwide project, STL will provide a pre-integrated suite of optical fibre cables comprising armored, duct and universal cables complying with varied deployment scenarios and integration services, the company said.
