Assam State Electronics Development Corporation Limited (AMTRON) is the first state-owned PSU to obtain national level telecom licences. The Department of Telecommunications, Ministry of Communications, Government of India, and AMTRON signed a national long distance (NLD), international long distance (ILD), and internet service provider (Category-A) licence agreement.

The move will allow Amtron to provide high-speed internet connectivity to the North-eastern region, which includes Bhutan, Nepal, Myanmar, and Bangladesh.
