SLT-Mobitel accelerates Sri Lanka's digital future
Daily FT
|September 29, 2025
FOLLOWING a robust financial recovery, SLT-Mobitel, the national ICT solutions provider, has transformed into the nation’s strategic enabler, a thriving national asset driving Sri Lanka’s digital future. Supporting the Government, SLTMobitel aims to accelerate the country’s digitalisation efforts and power economic growth for all sectors.
-
The solid return to profitability in the first half of 2025, from a company considered for divestment, has positioned SLT-MOBITEL to deliver on the mandate of building digital infrastructure to define the country’s technological landscape and economic prosperity.
Empowering Government digitalisation
Central to the transformation is SLTMobitel’s pivotal role in digitalising Sri Lanka’s public sector. The Lanka Government Network (LGN) acts as the backbone for inter-agency connectivity, enabling seamless collaboration and supporting e-governance platforms across all levels. Managed by SLTMobitel under the direction of the Digital Economy Ministry, LGN ensures stability, security, and scalability, creating a solid foundation for the nation’s evolving digital governance framework.
Complementing the LGN, the Lanka Government Cloud (LGC), fully managed by SLT-Mobitel, provides a scalable, future-ready infrastructure for smart governance applications. The LGC supports artificial intelligence, big data analytics, and advanced digital services, positioning government agencies to deliver more responsive and efficient public services.
SLT Group Chairman Dr. Mothilal De Silva said, “SLT-Mobitel has consistently invested in building and modernising the country’s digital infrastructure. These substantial investments, covering fibre networks, 4G and 5G, and cloud platforms, are the backbone of the nation’s digital transformation. We deeply appreciate the support and guidance of the Telecommunications Regulatory Commission of Sri Lanka (TRCSL), whose partnership has been instrumental in enabling these advancements.”
