These TIPs will provide broadband internet<\/a> within the limits of Nashik Municipal Corporation (NMC) and have been appointed on a 50:50 revenue sharing between BSNL and the TIPs.
According to sources, this move will help BSNL increase the customer base. There have been around 15 players in the broadband internet sector, out of which BSNL’s market share is 30% while the remaining 70% belongs to the private players.
“Our objective is to increase our market share in the city from 30% to 40%. Hence, we are taking several measures to increase the number of broadband internet connections in the city,” Nitian Mahajn, BSNL general manager, said.
“We have appointed the TIPs in order to compete with major private players in the broadband internet segment. The demand for broadband connections have increased at large after the lockdown due to Covid-19 pandemic. The work from home and study from home options have led to huge rise in demand for broadband internet connections in the city,” he added.
The BSNL has added around 9,000 broadband connections in the city in the past five months after the lockdown. “Now, we have a demand for over 50-60 connections per day, but we are providing around 25-30 connections per day. There are around 1.70 lakh broadband connections in the city, out of which, BSNL has over 45,000 broadband connections,” Mahajan said.
