HFCL stated that it had previously executed the implementation of the Secure OPS Network project for Indian defence forces under a contract awarded by RailTel. As part of the project, the company successfully completed the design, supply, installation, and commissioning of one central data centre and 120 mini data centres across defence establishments nationwide.
