BSNL gains subscribers as private telcos lose users

BSNL has seen significant subscriber growth over the past two months, attracting users due to lower tariffs following tariff hikes by private telecom companies. In July and August, BSNL gained millions of new users while competitors like Jio, Airtel, and Voda Idea lost subscribers. BSNL’s low Average Revenue Per User is partly because it has yet to fully launch 4G.
