ITI Limited, India’s pioneering public sector undertaking in telecom manufacturing, has achieved a significant milestone by securing its inaugural order for Electronic Voting Machines (EVMs) from the State Election Commission (SEC) of West Bengal. The order includes the supply of 500 sets of the indigenous Multi Post EVMs, following a successful demonstration held in Kolkata.

The Multi Post EVM, designed and developed by ITI Limited, aligns with the specifications set by the SEC and the Technical Evaluation Committee. This EVM model is versatile, suitable for local body elections at various levels such as Gram Panchayats, Municipalities, and Corporations, as well as for Lok Sabha and Assembly elections when used as a Single Post machine.

The manufacturing of these EVMs will take place at ITI Limited’s facilities, adhering to the technical specifications and quality standards mandated by the Election Commission. The company has committed to a fast-track delivery to meet the requirements of the West Bengal SEC.

Rajesh Rai, Chairman and Managing Director of ITI Limited, expressed his enthusiasm, stating, “ITI Limited is delighted to win its first-ever order to manufacture EVMs for the State Election Commission of West Bengal. This achievement is a testament to our commitment to re-establishing ITI Limited as a leading technology manufacturer. We are honored that our EVMs will contribute to strengthening India’s democracy.”

Rai also highlighted ITI Limited’s future plans, saying, “We are exploring business opportunities with other State Election Commissions across India to offer our high-quality EVMs on a national scale.”
