Regulator Emphasises Fair Competition in Satellite Communication Sector

The decision highlights the regulator’s commitment to maintaining equal treatment for all satellite service providers, whether public or private.
New Delhi: State-owned telecom company BSNL (Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited) has launched a new in-house mobile application called Sanchar Mitra, aimed at making SIM card issuance and e-KYC verification faster, smoother, and fully digital across India.
India’s rural telecom market continues to play a crucial role in the overall growth of the country’s digital ecosystem. As per the latest telecom subscriber data for October 2025, private telecom operators have strengthened their hold in rural areas, while government-owned BSNL remains far behind the competition.
Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL) has officially rolled out its new in-house mobile application “Sanchar Mitra” across India. The app has been launched to resolve recent disruptions in SIM card issuance and Aadhaar-based e-KYC verification, ensuring smooth onboarding of new customers and replacement SIM services nationwide.

NEW DELHI: Reliance Jio, Bharti Airtel, and Vodafone Idea’s subscriber churn to Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL) has started slowing down, IIFL Securities said on Friday.
Vodafone Idea, the third largest telecom provider in India, recently made some changes to its recharge plans that customers may find frustrating. In July, like its competitors Jio and Airtel, Vodafone Idea increased its plan prices. As a result, many customers have started switching to BSNL for more affordable options. Despite losing a large number of users, it seems that Vodafone Idea is not very affected by this loss.
Reliance Jio, India’s largest telecom operator led by Mukesh Ambani, witnessed a steep decline in its user base, losing 7.9 million subscribers in September 2024. This marks one of the most significant losses for the telecom giant as users shift toward state-owned Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL).
India’s first internet TV service which provides fiber-based connectivity, IFTV, has recently been launched by BSNL. This service was initially available in Madhya Pradesh and Tamil Nadu, and it has now been introduced in Punjab as well.
Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited is India’s oldest and most dependable telecommunications provider. It has played an important role in linking the nation. BSNL was founded on October 1, 2000, as a government-owned enterprise under the Department of Telecommunications, inheriting a massive network infrastructure and becoming a cornerstone of India’s communication revolution. BSNL is famous for offering affordable and reliable service options, especially in rural or secluded areas.
In a recent blow to Reliance Jio, which is the country’s largest telecom provider, a whopping 7.9 million (79 lakh) subscribers were lost in a single month this year as millions of users switched to state-owned BSNL. This comes after the private telcos hiked mobile tariffs by a significant margin earlier in July 2024.
Vodafone Idea (Vi), India's third-largest wireless operator, has been named the top operator for 4G network performance in the country, according to Opensignal's 4G Network Experience Report, November 2024. The report, covering the period from June 1 to August 29, 2024, analysed data over 90 days, assessing four telecom operators—Vi, Airtel, Jio, and BSNL—across six key performance metrics.
The Ministry of Electronics and IT (MeitY) has issued a notice to Meta Platforms, the parent company of WhatsApp, urging immediate action to tackle the growing number of scams originating on the messaging platform. This move comes after the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) requested intervention to curb fraudulent activities on over-the-top (OTT) platforms like WhatsApp.
