Meanwhile, the parliamentary committee recently raised concerns over the declining subscriber base and poor service quality of BSNL. Some committee members highlighted personal experiences of subpar service on BSNL mobiles. BSNL officials assured the Estimates Committee of service improvements within six months, with plans to equip nearly 1 lakh mobile towers with 4G, up from the current 24,000 towers, as part of the “Aatmanirbhar Bharat” initiative.
The discussions, led by Telecom Secretary Neeraj Mittal and BSNL’s CMD, focused on BSNL’s performance, particularly its 4G and 5G services. The committee voiced concerns over BSNL’s market share dropping to around 7%, with private operators becoming more popular. MPs, all of whom are issued BSNL SIMs, echoed dissatisfaction with the service.
