MTNL has entered into a tie-up with New Delhi Municipal Council (NDMC) in an attempt of offering free Wi-Fi. New Delhi Municipal Council Smart City, a public limited company wholly owned by NDMC, has signed a joint venture with Millennium Telecom (MTL) -- a subsidiary of MTNL -- to develop telecom access networks in areas to provide FTTH (Fibre to the Home) to the residents.

This step taken by NDMC is a fresh attempt at offering free internet connectivity in its areas. Its ambitious Wi-Fi project in Connaught Place and Khan Market is losing popularity due to poor connectivity.

MTNL was set up by the Government of India to upgrade the quality of telecom services, expand the telecom network, and introduce new services and to raise revenue for telecom development needs of India's key metros -- Delhi and Mumbai.
