"Director (CM) BSNL Board, R K Mittal said that the telco's field units have synergised their efforts to achieve this target.
"Our MNP (Port in/Port out ratio) has become first time positive in FY 2015-16, meaning thereby that the number of customers joining BSNL from other operators is more than the customers leaving BSNL. We are thankful to our customers for reposing faith in us. We are committed to provide the best services to our customers," he said.
