BSNL在国家资助的项目中输给了Airtel, Jio寻求政府干预
印度通信技术企业之声(Voice)总干事Rakesh Kumar Bhatnagar表示，在过去5年里，BSNL没有接到一个移动项目，USOF的所有项目都是“以公开招标的名义”授予两家私营电信服务提供商的，并补充说，“他们在所有项目中部署的设备都是进口的，明显违反了总理的《印度制造政策》。”
新德里:国营Bharat Sanchar Nigam有限公司（BSNL)已经失去了一些著名的政府资助的项目数字连接向Bhart等私营部门竞争对手提供的项目附近的旅馆而且依赖Jio为了配合印度总理纳伦德拉·莫迪雄心勃勃的自力更生运动，印度政府寻求电信部门的干预。
在2022年3月14日写给电信部长K Rajaraman的一封信中，BSNL董事长Pravin Kumar Purwar说:“BSNL处于最好的位置，过去有在困难地区以完全专业的方式推出移动网络的经验。要求向未覆盖的村庄提供覆盖的工作应在提名的基础上交给BSNL，该工作将使用印度设计和制造的设备进行。”
此外，这位高级官员保证，该电信公司将处于最佳位置，在授予之日起的24个月内完成连接计划。
尽管国有电信公司以“创纪录的时间”在左翼极端主义袭击地区部署了电信网络，但该部门仍将LWE- ii项目授予了Bharti Airtel和RelianceJio去年，两家私营电信运营商还提出了一项连通理想乡村的计划。
在东北地区雄心勃勃的电信连接计划中，该部门将先前为BSNL保留的地点以提名方式授予了Bharti Airtel和Reliance Jio，甚至在只有一个投标人的情况下也授予了这些地点。
一位不愿透露姓名的前官员说:“对总理的自力自主的号召并不敏感，因为普遍服务义务基金(USOF)继续在未被覆盖的村庄向私营服务提供商提供数字连接项目，这些服务提供商得到资金，从外国供应商那里部署设备。”
USOF是一个5500亿卢比的强大语料库，旨在为农村和偏远地区提供电信连接。
MTNL的合并将给BSNL的复兴带来“不可挽回的”损失:员工团体
在2022年3月23日写给总理纳伦德拉·莫迪的一封信中，BSNL员工工会(BSNLEU)表示:“BSNL员工真诚地担心MTNL与BSNL的合并肯定会破坏后者的财务状况。”
在3月17日写给USOF管理员的一封信中，印度通信技术企业之声(Voice)总干事Rakesh Kumar Bhatnagar表示，在过去5年里，BSNL没有收到一个移动项目，USOF的所有项目都被“以公开招标的名义”授予了两家私营电信服务提供商，并补充说，“他们在所有项目中部署的设备都是进口的，明显违反了总理的《印度制造政策》。”
他说:“应该真正尊重公共采购(印度制造)政策，使用由国内制造商设计和开发的设备，遵守电信工程中心的一般要求，部署的设备符合国家安全要求，进一步符合电信设备的强制性测试和认证。”
随着下一代网络的不可用，BSNL继续失去用户收入，另一方面，完全由政府资助的项目输给了私营竞争对手。
2019年10月，内阁批准了财政紧张的BSNL和Mahanagar Telephone Nigam Limited (MTNL)的7000亿卢比复兴，其中包括自愿退休计划(VRS)、资产货币化和4G无线电波的分配，预计这两家公司将迎来转机。

<\/figure>NEW DELHI: State-run Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited<\/a> (BSNL<\/a>) has been losing out some of the prestigious government-funded digital connectivity<\/a> programs to private sector rivals such as Bhart Airtel<\/a> and Reliance Jio<\/a>, and has sought telecom department's intervention in line with Prime Minister Narendra Modi's ambitious Atmanirbhar Bharat (self-reliant India) campaign.
In a letter to telecom secretary K Rajaraman, dated March 14, 2022, BSNL chairman Pravin Kumar Purwar said, \"BSNL is in the best position and has the past experience of rolling out mobile networks in difficult terrains with complete professionalism. It is requested that the work of providing coverage to the uncovered villages should be given on nomination basis to BSNL, which will be carried out with Indian designed and manufactured equipment.\"
Further, the top official assured that the telco would be in a best position to complete the connectivity program within the 24 months from the date of award.
<\/div><\/div>The letter comes close on the heels of the BSNL partnering with homegrown Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) and state-driven Centre for Development of Telematics (C-DoT) for the commercial rollout of fourth generation or 4G services together with a 5G-upgradable network.
Despite the deployment of telecom network in critical left wing extremism (LWE)-hit areas in a \"record time\" by state-owned telco, the department awarded LWE-II program to Bharti Airtel and Reliance Jio<\/a> last year, and a further initiative to connect aspirational villages was also bagged by two private telecom operators.
In the ambitious telecom connectivity initiative for the Northeast region, the department awarded sites that were earlier reserved for BSNL on a nomination basis, to Bharti Airtel and Reliance Jio, and even in scenarios where only a single bidder turned up.
\"There is no sensitivity towards the Prime Minister's Atmanirbhar Bharat clarion call as the Universal Service Obligation Fund (USOF) continues to award digital connectivity projects in uncovered villages to private service providers who are funded to deploy gear from foreign vendors,\" a former official who does no wish to be named for the story said.
USOF is a Rs 55,000-crore strong corpus meant to provide telecom connectivity in rural and remote areas.
