1 lakh new towers

To increase network coverage, BSNL will install 1 lakh new 4G and 5G mobile towers, the approval of which is pending from the Union Cabinet. Last year, BSNL had promised to install the same number of towers, of which more than 70,000 have been activated. Completion of these installations will lead to a major improvement in connectivity.

To support this major expansion, BSNL has invested Rs 13,000 crore on the maintenance of its new 4G mobile towers for the next ten years. In May 2023, the company awarded Ericsson a contract to install telecom equipment, while Tata Consultancy Services and Tejas Networks got the responsibility of installing mobile towers. As a result, 1 lakh 4G and 5G towers have been installed, of which more than 70,000 are live and operational.
