Following the approval of a merger between BSNL and MTNL,

plans with free calls to MTNL numbers, a facility which was unavailable
prior to the merger.

different plans for prepaid users. These plans include the Rs 429, Rs
485 and Rs 666 which previously existed. For those of you who don’t
know, BSNL’s network operates across 20 circles in India while MTNL

include free voice calling to MTNL numbers in Delhi and Mumbai and that
is what has changed now.
BSNL Will Take On Competition After Merger With MTNL, VRS and 4G Spectrum Allocation
Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL) was neck-deep in financial
troubles since the last few years. The troubles became even more
detrimental as Reliance Jio made its entry to the Indian telecom
industry and bruised the sector with the data tariff war, thus hurting
the financials of other telecom operators severely including BSNL.
However, out of all the telecom operators, BSNL was the most in trouble
with heavy debts and payments pending to vendors and its other
operational creditors. On top of that, the telco was also dealing with a
high churn rate of subscribers, falling revenue, and very high salaries
to the employees. With all of this bringing down the financial sheets
of BSNL, it was getting hard for the telecom operator to compete in the
industry with the private telcos. But, now the government has brought
forth a revival package for BSNL which includes VRS, 4G spectrum allocation and more and this is how it will help the ailing telecom company.

about 20 circles.

BSNL Rs 429, Rs 485 and Rs 666 Prepaid Plans Now Offer Free Voice Calling to MTNL Mobile Numbers
The Cabinet recently approved the merger of BSNL and MTNL
and it seems like we don’t have to wait for a more extended period to
see the changes come into effect. While the merger is said to happen in
the coming months, BSNL has started providing free voice calls to MTNL
customers in Mumbai and Delhi. Yes, you heard it right. Popular BSNL
plans like Rs 429, Rs 485 and Rs 666 now offer voice calling to MTNL
network as well. BSNL has made this move right after the announcement of
the merger between two state-run telcos. For the unaware, BSNL is
operating in 20 telecom circles, while MTNL operates in Mumbai and Delhi
telecom circles. After the merger, it seems like there will be only one
state-run telco and it could be BSNL as all the MTNL customers may be
migrated to BSNL. Right now, there’s no info on how the merger will
work, but it’s a good thing to see BSNL offering free voice calls to
MTNL users as well.

The Union Cabinet’s decision to clear a nearly Rs 69,000 crore
bailout package, albeit long delayed, for Bharat Sanchar Nigam Ltd
(BSNL) and Mahanagar Telephone Nigam Ltd (MTNL) — two loss-making public
sector telecom service providers — is a step in the right direction.
After two failed attempts to merge MTNL with BSNL in the last 15 years,
the government has finally bitten the bullet.

Bharat Sanchar Nigam (BSNL) and Mahanagar Telephone Nigam (MTNL), under
the recently announced revival package, will invest around Rs 11,000

Govt plans to take InvIT route for BSNL asset monetisation programme
To
make the asset monetisation programme of BSNL a success, the government
plans to take the recently expanded Infrastructure Investment Trust
(InvIT) route. This will be the first major use of the route by a public
sector company and it follows last week’s announcement by the Reserve
Bank of India allowing banks to invest in InvITs.
Letter to BS: BSNL, MTNL merger will prove to be important in the long-term
This refers to “BSNL, MTNL to
merge, get Rs 70k cr push” (October 24). The new policy direction of
the government should not come as a surprise. Considering the government
has gone in for an amalgamated public telecom, it must be taken as an
acid test for the acumen of the government and its bureaucracy. This
might set a new tone and direction in the emancipated governance of
public sector undertakings in future.

has given in-principle approval to merger of BSNL and Mahanagar
Telephone Nigam Limited, MTNL needs to delist from bourse. Pending
merger, MTNL would act as a subsidiary of BSNL, said Telecom Minister
R.S. Prasad.
