BSNL gains 55 lakh new subscribers, Union Minister shares other important updates

In the telecom sector, the government-owned company BSNL has been making headlines for the past six to seven months. With private companies recently hiking their recharge plan prices, it appears that BSNL is experiencing a resurgence. Union Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia highlighted this comeback in Parliament, revealing that BSNL has gained 5.5 million new customers over the last six months. During his address in the Rajya Sabha, Scindia emphasised the government's ongoing efforts to steer BSNL towards profitability and boost its subscriber base. He noted that, for the first time, from June last year through February 2025, the company's subscriber count has increased from 85.5 million to 91 million.
