The public-sector telecom company Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL) is aggressively expanding its 4G services across India. Union Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia recently confirmed that 1 lakh 4G towers will be operational by March 2025, with 80,000 to be ready by October this year. The government is also working on leveraging 4G infrastructure for 5G services.
Tariff Hikes Trigger Shift to BSNL
With Jio, Airtel, and Vi raising their plan prices, a growing number of users are switching to BSNL. In Andhra Pradesh alone, BSNL added over 2.17 lakh users in July 2024. Affordable tariffs, expanding network, and improved service delivery are contributing to this migration.
BSNL Stores Overcrowded with SIM Seekers
Due to this sudden surge in new customers, BSNL outlets across various cities are experiencing long queues and SIM shortages. Customers are facing delays and inconvenience at physical stores, leading BSNL to introduce an online SIM ordering facility.
