Centre for Development of Telematics, also known as C-DOT, is a state-owned telecommunications technology development centre headquartered in India. Established in 1984 and employing approximately 320 individuals, the organization functions as an Indian Government owned entity primarily focused on the development of telecommunications technology. Initially mandated to design and develop digital exchanges, C-DOT has expanded its focus to include the creation of intelligent computer software applications. It maintains offices in Delhi, Bangalore, and Kolkata, and has been appraised at Maturity Level 5 of CMMI-DEV v1.3.
On September 7, 2026, the Centre for Development of Telematics (C-DOT) reported that Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited's (BSNL) indigenous 4G mobile network is handling an average data volume of six petabytes per day, driven by a surge in its subscriber base. Previously, on September 1, 2026, India’s Department of Telecommunications (DoT) signed a strategic five-year agreement with C-DOT to establish a state-of-the-art end-to-end optical network test bed. This DoT-funded and supported test bed will be located at the C-DOT campus in New Delhi, serving as a critical real-world environment to accelerate the development, testing, and commercialization of optical communication solutions by Indian startups and industry players. Earlier, on August 31, 2026, C-DOT unveiled a 14-product indigenous quantum-security portfolio during its 43rd Foundation Day, which includes solutions for generating secure keys, protecting existing networks, and securing critical components used in quantum communication.
