Government financial support
In the current year’s budget, the central government allocated over Rs 82,000 crore to revive BSNL. This substantial funding is aimed at enhancing the telecom company’s infrastructure and aiding in the rollout of fully India-developed 4G and 5G technology. This strategic move is expected to pose a major challenge for private telecom operators in the future. As BSNL scales up its services, private companies may need to maintain their average revenue per user to avoid substantial financial losses.

This trend of increasing number of subscribers is not limited to Andhra Pradesh but is also evident in various telecom circles across India. In response to revised tariff plans by private telecom companies, users have launched social media campaigns to switch to BSNL. The state-owned company is also conducting camps in various cities to facilitate SIM card porting, which is contributing to its growing user base.
Conclusion
With the imminent launch of 5G services and significant government support, BSNL is set to enhance its position in the Indian telecom sector. The growth in subscriber base and strategic investments in infrastructure highlight BSNL’s ability to compete effectively with private telecom companies, giving consumers more choices and driving technological advancements in the industry.
