The Parliamentary Committee on Public Undertakings highlights the importance of BSNL and MTNL..

The report of the Committee on Public Undertakings of the 16th Lok Sabha, has been released by the DPE. The report was presented to the Lok Sabha and the Rajya Sabha on 20-12-2018. The report categorically says that BSNL and MTNL are strategic PSUs. Very importantly, the report says that, BSNL, entered the mobile segment only in 2002, but helped in the reduction of tariffs, and thus play a key role in balancing market forces in the interest of consumer. The report also says that BSNL and MTNL serve security needs in areas of strife and conflict. Certainly, this report strengthens our hands to seek the government’s intervention for an early revival of BSNL.
