Karnataka’s power grid is evolving. KPTCL is flipping its idle dark fibre network into a massive digital revenue stream, targeting ₹130 crore in gains. By leasing surplus bandwidth, the utility shifts from a traditional provider to a high-speed infrastructure powerhouse. This strategic pivot promises to supercharge enterprise connectivity, slash deployment costs, and turn stranded assets into the backbone of Karnataka’s future digital economy.
