<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>NEW DELHI: Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited<\/a> (BSNL<\/a>) CMD PK Purwar has written a stern-worded letter to the chief general managers (CGMs) of 13 circles, where the state-run telco’s revenue has fallen, to take immediate remedial actions to improve the financial performance, according to a report by Financial Express.

“It may be noted that the signed MoU between DoT and
BSNL<\/a> to implement Cabinet<\/a> decision (revival package) requires BSNL to ensure accountability by taking action against non-performers,” Purwar said in a letter to the concerned CGMs, as per the report.

Purwar said five circles have become “borderline negative” with respect to revenue, five circles have become “markedly negative”, and three circles have slipped into the “critically negative territory” in the last one year, the report added.

The Centre last year in July had approved a Rs 1.64 lakh crore revival package for the BSNL and
MTNL<\/a>, expecting BSNL to turn profitable by FY26–27.

BSNL has seen a significant fall in revenues in West Bengal, UP East, Sikkim, Andaman and Nicobar, Orissa, Bihar, and Karnataka. Further, its revenue has become weak in Kerala, Jammu and Kashmir, Andhra Pradesh, North East, and Jharkhand.

Telecom Diary: BSNL-MTNL merger: A viable option?<\/a><\/h2>

BSNL, which has recently been given a revival package aimed at changing its declining fortunes, is yet to start 4G services at a time when private players are aggressively launching 5G services. MTNL is far off. It is barely managing to survive, the numbers show it all. For the December quarter, MTNL recorded revenues of Rs 329 crore with a loss of Rs 778 crore and its total expenditure stands at Rs 1,107 crore. In FY22, BSNL’s revenues declined nearly 4% year-on-year, to Rs 16,809 crore and losses stood at Rs 6,982 crore.<\/p><\/div>
