This multi-crore, prestigious win reinforces Tata Communications’ position as a trusted technology partner for mission-critical

• Accelerate and streamline end-to-end operations of GSTAT
• Ensure seamless access across all GSTAT benches nationwide

By modernising how stakeholders will engage with GSTAT, the project will enable the GSTAT to meet their vision and foster greater trust in India’s GST framework.
