In consonance with Prime Minister Narendra
Modi's 'Digital India' project, the New Delhi
Municipal Council today launched Wi-Fi
services in Connaught Place, the business hub
of the capital.

Delhiites visiting the Connaught Place market
will now be able to avail Wi-Fi services which
were launched by New Delhi MP Meenakshi
Lekhi at the Central Park.

The civic agency has partnered with Tata
Teleservices to provide the service, which will
cover the Inner and Outer Circles of one of the
most significant business and leisure centres
in the city.

The visitors can avail the facility on their
mobile phones and computers by filling in
details such as e-mail ID and mobile numbers.
A one-time password (OTP) will then be
received to connect to the internet.

The service will be free of cost for the first
twenty minutes and after the free usage time
is exhausted, the user will have to do a
recharge using recharge cards available at
various shops, including Tata Docomo retail
outlets, in the area.

The recharge cards are available at Rs 10 for
30 minutes, Rs 20 for 60 minutes, and Rs 50
for 180 minutes of Wi-Fi access, an official
statement said.
For any service related assistance, customers
can call the Wi-Fi call centre number +91 11
60607070.

This Wi-Fi service has come up in more than 5-
sq km area and will be applicable in the Inner
and Outer circles of Connaught Place including
the Central Park.

This Wi-Fi service in Connaught Place will be
the largest ever in India. At a time, the service
can be availed by 5,000 people with the speed
512 Kbps, the statement said.

Launching the service, Lekhi, who is also a
council member of the civic body, said, "These
initiatives are in line with Prime Minister
Narendra Modi's vision of a Digital India, which
would enable greater transparency and better
governance."
