BSNL and MTNL Merger Seems to be Back on the Books

bsnl and mtnl merger seems to be

Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL) and Mahanagar Telephone Nigam Limited (MTNL) are the two government-run telecom companies in India. Both companies have different management and a completely different target market. For instance, MTNL only focuses on the Delhi and Mumbai metro circles while BSNL works PAN-India. A few years back, there were talks around the merger of both state-run telecom companies to streamline operations. But then there were no updates and the merger was seemingly put to the side by the government. However, according to a recent report from TheNewIndianExpress, the merger of both companies could be very much in the books.

As per the report, BSNL is planning to bring in IIM-Ahmedabad and Deloitte to make a plan for improving its financial situation in the future and also form a merger plan with MTNL. The aim of bringing in the two organisations is to help resolve the legal issues that would arise when merging with MTNL and then also attain a profitable future.

To recall, MTNL recently signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with BSNL to achieve a synergy of operations. What exactly is the government planning here is unknown. However, it is worth noting that BSNL could soon come in a much better position financially once it starts offering 4G to customers throughout the country. BSNL is using a tech stack that can also be upgraded to 5G with a simple software push and is also Made in India.
