This is a two days conference which will bring together Board Members, Chief Vigilance Officer, Heads of Circles, and Senior Officers to collectively review the performance, realign goals, and strategise for the next phase of growth. BSNL's target of 1 lakh 4G sites is very close. The company has already set its eyes on the 5G market and developments around it have surfaced online already.
One of the highlights of BSNL's recent performance is that it was net profitable during the October - December 2024 quarter. The company reported a net profit of Rs 262 crore during this time. The next goal would be to become completely profitable in the long run. For now, BSNL is again back to losing customers after adding them for some time post the tariff hikes from the private telecom operators. BSNL needs to expand its 4G fast and also start rolling out 5G in order to compete with the likes of Jio, Airtel and Vodafone Idea (Vi).
