The Department of Telecommunications (DoT) has extended the deadline for submitting an expression of interest (EoI) for Sangam: Digital Twin Initiative from March 15, 2024, to April 5, 2024.
DoT officially launched an EoI on February 15, 2024, inviting participation in the Sangam: Digital Twin Initiative. This EoI process was structured in two stages, with the initial response deadline set for March 15, 2024.
Leading up to this deadline, the DoT orchestrated a series of three informative and interactive outreach programmes in Delhi, Bengaluru, and Hyderabad, with the final event held on March 12, 2024. More than 30 organisations made presentations during these outreach programmes and presented their work and underlying capabilities that may be useful for the Sangam Initiative. These events played a crucial role in sparking interest among potential participants, leading to meaningful interactions where many organisations indicated their intent to engage with the EoI process.
According to DoT, the Sangam initiative, aimed at revolutionising infrastructure planning and design through the utilisation of cutting-edge technologies and collective intelligence, has garnered significant attention since its unveiling. Recognising the importance of ensuring maximum participation and inclusivity, the DoT has decided to extend the timeline to provide interested parties with additional time to prepare and submit their proposals. This extension offers stakeholders a greater opportunity to engage with the Sangam initiative, contribute their innovative ideas, and actively participate in shaping the future of infrastructure development in India. The Sangam: Digital Twin initiative represents a collaborative effort to harness the power of technology and collective intelligence for sustainable and efficient infrastructure solutions.
