“This is a proud moment for Assam and a giant leap in our journey toward an industrially advanced and digitally empowered future,” CM Sarma tweeted. He emphasized that the project will unlock new possibilities in automation, real-time analytics, and safety enhancements within the refinery environment.

The 5G Captive Non-Public Network (CNPN) will serve as a closed-loop system, offering ultra-reliable, low-latency communication critical for industrial operations. Officials believe it will be a game changer in enabling smart manufacturing and predictive maintenance.

The project also aligns with the Government of India’s push for self-reliance under the “Atmanirbhar Bharat” initiative, showcasing how indigenous telecom solutions can drive sector-specific digital transformation.
