BSNL is rolling out its 4G services across India and the state-owned telecom operator has also started working on the 5G network. Recently, Union Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia stated that 80,000 towers would be installed by the end of October, and the remaining 21,000 by March next year, which means one lakh towers of 4G network would be installed by March 2025. He mentioned that it is possible to use 5G on the existing 4G core, and work is underway to make necessary changes in the towers for 5G services.
After the recent tariff hike, telecom subscribers in India are also switching from Jio, Airtel, and Vi to BSNL. The state-owned company has recently achieved a significant milestone in Andhra Pradesh by adding 217,000 new connections in July 2024.
