BSNL gears up to launch budget-friendly 5G services with over 2 lakh 4G towers across India, relying on indigenous tech to rival private telecom giants.
B SNL’s 5G Buzz: Cheaper, Faster, and Almost Here!
With the hypercompetition around high-speed internet, BSNL is indeed causing quite a ripple. The talk in the telecom corridors: that the Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL) is about to introduce its 5G services, but hold on — at rates that could see private players limp under their offers. If the reports are to be believed, then BSNL’s 5G will be both fast and easy on the pocket. Think streaming, gaming, and downloading at light speed without burning a hole in your wallet.
A Towering Ambition: 2 Lakh 4G Towers and Counting
Description: BSNL is not merely dreaming of 5G — it’s preparing the ground, brick by brick, or, more appropriately, tower by tower. The public sector telecom behemoth is already through Phase 1 after completing the installation of a gobsmacking 1 lakh 4G towers across the country. But hey, the story doesn’t stop there. Phase 2 is already heating up, and another one lakh towers will be installed. The firm is now awaiting the last go-ahead from the Cabinet to push the pedal to the metal.
India’s Own Tech Backbone: No Foreign Strings Attached
Unlike some other addicted providers with products from abroad, the image of BSNL playing the ‘Make in India’ trumpet is loud and clear. The company is going to Swadeshi (indigenous) for the 4G rollout. In a key decision, BSNL signed a pact with Ericsson in May 2023 for the deployment of telecom gear. The tech titans of the nation, including Tata Consultancy Services and Tejas Networks, are being enlisted to erect mobile towers throughout the country.

Big Bets on Maintenance: ₹13,000 Crore and a Promise
BSNL is not a bang-and-leave. It has plowed in an incredulous ₹13,000 crore just to keep its new 4G network alive. It’s not just investment — that’s commitment. Backed by solid support and home-grown tech under the bonnet, BSNL is now envisioning a redefined public sector telecom future in the age of hyper-connectivity.
Bottom Line
While everyone is talking about 5G, BSNL is entering the battlefield not with noise, but numbers, strategy, and patriotism. And barring a few bumps in the road ahead, India might be surfing 5G waves in no time without paying a premium for the service.
