Tech Mahindra Deploys Captive 5G Networks for Industry 4.0 Transformation
9 Sep
Summary
- Tech Mahindra partners with telcos and enterprises for private 5G deployments
- Enables advanced Industry 4.0 use cases like connected robotics and real-time analytics
- Collaborates with ecosystem to develop AI-powered private 5G solutions
As of September 2025, homegrown IT services firm Tech Mahindra has been at the forefront of private 5G deployments in India. The company has been collaborating with telecom carriers and enterprises to bring advanced Industry 4.0 use cases to life, such as connected robotics and real-time analytics that improve productivity and quality.
Tech Mahindra has also been working closely with ecosystem stakeholders to develop artificial intelligence (AI)-equipped solutions for the broader private 5G technology, aiming to boost adoption among enterprises. The company had previously partnered with Bharti Airtel in 2022 to deploy a private 5G network at Mahindra's Chakan facility, making it India's first 5G-enabled automobile manufacturing unit.
While the initial momentum for private 5G deployments has been slow, primarily due to regulatory complexities and spectrum allocation issues, Tech Mahindra anticipates that adoption will speed up as businesses become more aware of the return-on-investment (RoI) associated with digital transformation. The company is committed to driving private 5G adoption in India and delivering its benefits across various industries, including manufacturing, logistics, and healthcare.
