State-run telecom major Bharat Sanchar Nigam Ltd (BSNL) has decided to cancel its existing tender for 5.5 million GSM lines and invite fresh bids for 15 million GSM lines in June. The new tender is estimated to be around Rs 5,000-6,000 crore.

Following the decision of an equipment provider firm, which did not participate in the bidding process, to move court, BSNL decided to cancel the tender and issue a new one to overcome capacity constraints, a senior official from BSNL told Business Standard.
