BSNL had run a special camp on March 13 to distribute SIM cards to the locals and activate them. This will allow BSNL to boost presence in the country and grow its subscriber base marginally.

BSNL has installed more than 80,000 4G towers in India and approximately around 75,000 of these towers are now active. BSNL will complete its goal of 1 lakh 4G sites by June 2025. Afterwards, the state-run telecom operator will focus on deploying 5G. At the same time, more orders are expected to TCS from BSNL for expansion of the 4G network. While 1 lakh sites are a good base to start from, they are not nearly enough to serve a diverse and wide country like India. This will help BSNL in widening its customer base.
