B SNL's infrastructure will be strengthened
Let us tell you that BSNL is launching its 4G service in every area of ​​​​India. Also, it is rapidly moving towards 5G. Apart from this, BSNL is trying to provide broadband service to every village and city. However, on the ground, BSNL is facing direct competition from Jio and Airtel. In such a situation, BSNL has to strengthen its infrastructure rapidly. This is the reason why the government wants to give a financial relief package to BSNL and put the company on par with private companies by selling assets. To achieve this plan, the government merged the work of MTNL with BSNL.
