The deal could be valued between $1.4 billion and $1.6 billion, sources close to the development told ET.


If it comes through, the contract will be the largest-ever outsourcing deal to be signed by an Indian operator. It will also be the biggest win in India for Big Blue, which saw 37% growth in revenues here last year. Sources said the contract has been discussed with Vodafone CEO Arun Sarin.
