The company today signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with the Malaysian Hindu Sangam (MHS), under which exclusive rights for the use of 2,277 temple land banks under MHS' jurisdiction are granted to Orissa to build telecom towers for a period of 10 years. Orissa chief executive officer Nallen Singhe said the telecom towers will mainly be monopole towers or landpoles designed to support antennas. We are currently in talks with all major telecom operators in the country, about our leasing services. “We expect the first batch of the telecom towers to be completed in the first quarter of 2017,” Nallen added. Among the telcos listed as customers of Orissa on its website are Celcom Axiata Bhd, edotco Group Sdn Bhd and U Mobile Sdn Bhd.
