A senior official from BSNL has said that by the end of this calendary year (2025), the state-run telecom company will rollout 5G in key metro cities of the country. The metro cities in concern here are Mumbai and Delhi. These are the two cities where actually MTNL (Mahanagar Telephone Nigam Limited) should have been serving to the customers.
However, due to operational inefficiencies and inability to serve to people, the government decided that MTNL's mobile operations should be handled by BSNL. This creates a unified service SOP (System of Procedure) for the companies and also ensures that unfiorm services can be offered everywhere in the country.
BSNL is expected to announce the rollout of PAN-India 4G on September 27, 2025, according to the CMD of the company. It remains to be seen whether the customers have seen any material gains in their network experience with BSNL.
