BSNL pins hopes on 4G rollout, subscriber gain to boost growth

Mint New Delhi

July 29, 2025

Bharat Sanchar Nigam Ltd (BSNL) aims to boost its revenue by 20-30% in the current financial year, Union minister of state for communications Chandra Sekhar Pemmasani said on Monday, even as he reiterated that Elon Musk's Starlink won't be a threat to domestic telecom operators as it can provide only 2 million connections in India due to its limited capacity to serve the market.

BSNL seeks to increase its revenues by improving service quality and expanding its client base, but does not intend to raise tariffs to achieve its target, Pemmasani told reporters on the sidelines of a strategic review and planning meeting of the state-run company for 2025-26 in New Delhi.

The loss-making state-run telecom firm is actively rolling out 4G services with 100,000 towers and is looking at gradually expanding the tower sites to bolster network connectivity and service quality.
