Public support for BSNL surges as competitors increase tariffs.

With Jio, Airtel and Vodafone increasing their tariffs, many customers are opting to port their numbers to BSNL. This shift marks a significant opportunity for BSNL to capitalise on the public's renewed interest. Reports from various field units indicate a positive trend, with approximately 33 lakh new customers joining the BSNL network in the past 25 days. 

 

BSNL CMD has assured that there are no current plans to increase tariffs, further attracting customers. In the recent Parliament session, some MPs raised concerns about BSNL, and the Minister of State for Communications provided encouraging responses about BSNL's performance over the past few years.

 

This growing support suggests that BSNL is on the verge of a revival. However, to sustain this momentum, immediate action is required to roll out 4G/5G services. The government must ensure that BSNL customers receive the best possible service to maintain and build upon this positive trend.
