In a stunning turnaround, state-run telecom giant BSNL has posted a profit of Rs 262 crore for the quarter ending December 2024, marking its first profitable quarter since 2007. This remarkable achievement underscores the company’s successful revival strategy and its renewed focus on profitability after years of struggle.
The revival of BSNL has been a long and challenging journey, especially in a fiercely competitive telecom market dominated by private players like Airtel and Jio. However, the government’s unwavering trust in BSNL’s capabilities played a key role in the company’s comeback. In 2023, the government announced a massive Rs 89,047-crore revival package, despite initial skepticism from some finance and market experts who questioned the use of taxpayer money.
Against all odds, BSNL has proven its resilience. With strategic efforts focused on network expansion, cost optimisation, and enhanced customer service, the company has not only turned a corner but is now reaping the benefits of its investments. The successful reduction of finance costs and overall expenditure has been key to this achievement, with BSNL significantly cutting its losses by over Rs 1,800 crore compared to the previous year.

The government’s support, which included the allocation of spectrum and funds for strengthening BSNL’s network infrastructure, has been crucial in this turnaround. This support, combined with BSNL’s efforts to modernise and focus on customer satisfaction, has helped the telecom giant regain its footing in the industry.
BSNL’s success is a shining example of how determination, strategic planning, and public investment can help a company rise from the ashes. The achievement not only boosts BSNL’s prospects but also serves as a reminder of the importance of long-term vision and public-sector resilience. With a stronger network and renewed focus, BSNL is now poised for future growth and stability, offering hope for continued success in the years ahead.
As BSNL continues to build on this momentum, it serves as a symbol of hope for other public sector enterprises, proving that with the right strategy and support, even the most challenged organizations can make a strong comeback.
