बीएसएनएल के FY26 की चौथी तिमाही के नतीजे – गंभीर चिंताएं बरकरार 

बीएसएनएल ने FY26 की चौथी तिमाही में लगभग ₹1,269 करोड़ का शुद्ध घाटा दर्ज किया है, जिससे पता चलता है कि जिस बड़े बदलाव की उम्मीद थी, वह अभी तक नहीं हो पाया है। सरकार से काफी मदद, 4G रोलआउट में लगातार निवेश और कंपनी को फिर से खड़ा करने के बार-बार दिए गए आश्वासनों के बावजूद, रेवेन्यू में बढ़ोतरी काफी नहीं है और वित्तीय चुनौतियां बनी हुई हैं। ये नतीजे बताते हैं कि मज़बूत पॉलिसी सपोर्ट, तेज़ी से नेटवर्क का विस्तार, बेहतर सर्विस क्वालिटी और प्राइवेट टेलीकॉम ऑपरेटरों के साथ बराबरी का मौका मिलने की बहुत ज़रूरत है। जहाँ बीएसएनएल के कर्मचारी कंपनी को मज़बूत करने और ग्राहकों को सेवा देने के लिए लगातार कोशिश कर रहे हैं, वहीं सरकार और बीएसएनएल मैनेजमेंट को मार्केट शेयर बढ़ाने, रेवेन्यू में बढ़ोतरी करने और लंबे समय तक वित्तीय स्थिरता सुनिश्चित करने के लिए ठोस कदम उठाने होंगे। एक मज़बूत बीएसएनएल न केवल अपने कर्मचारियों के लिए, बल्कि देश के लिए सस्ती, भरोसेमंद और रणनीतिक टेलीकॉम सेवाएं सुनिश्चित करने के लिए भी बहुत ज़रूरी है।

BSNL has reported a net loss of around ₹1,269 crore in the fourth quarter of FY26, highlighting that the much-anticipated turnaround is yet to be achieved. Despite substantial government support, ongoing 4G rollout investments and repeated assurances regarding revival, revenue growth remains inadequate and financial challenges continue. The results underscore the urgent need for stronger policy support, accelerated network expansion, improved service quality and a genuine level playing field with private telecom operators. While BSNL employees are making relentless efforts to strengthen the company and serve customers, the Government and BSNL Management must take decisive measures to enhance market share, increase revenues, and ensure long-term financial sustainability. A strong BSNL is vital not only for its employees but also for safeguarding affordable, reliable and strategic telecom services for the nation.

BSNLEU and NFTE BSNL have already urged the Management to settle the long-pending and burning issues of Non-Executives. In this connection, the Staff Side has submitted the agenda for discussion in the forthcoming National Council meeting to PGM (SR) on 08.06.2026. A copy of the agenda submitted is enclosed herewith.

A delegation of the All Unions and Associations of BSNL (AUAB) met Shri K. Balaji, Joint Secretary (Admn.), DoT, on 09.06.2026, in the presence of Shri Raiti Madhav Rao, Director (PSU), DoT. The AUAB delegation submitted a memorandum seeking immediate approval of the 3rd PRC/Wage Negotiation for BSNL employees and strongly advocated for pay and wage revision without the application of the affordability clause, highlighting BSNL’s strategic role as a Government of India PSU. The delegation also raised important issues including approval of wage negotiations, pension revision, stoppage of SET recruitment and measures for the growth and strengthening of BSNL. The discussions were positive and constructive. AUAB is hopeful that the intervention at the highest level of the DoT will lead to favourable developments on the issues raised. Message of AUAB CHQ is enclosed herewith for information and further circulation among all comrades.

The last meeting of the National Council was held on 13.01.2025. Subsequently, a Formal review meeting was held with the Director (HR) on 18.02.2026 to assess the progress made on the decisions taken in the National Council meeting. However, it is unfortunate that most of the burning issues discussed in both meetings remain unresolved. Despite repeated discussions, no concrete action has been taken on many important matters affecting the employees. In view of this, the General Secretaries of BSNLEU and NFTE-BSNL have urged the Management to convene the next National Council meeting without any further delay. The Staff Side has already submitted the agenda for the forthcoming meeting to PGM (SR) for consideration.
