“Bharat Sanchar Nigam Ltd (BSNL) is back on track for recovery with Rs 672-crore operating profit in 2014-15, and is likely to report the first net profit in the last nine years within 2018, communications minister Ravi Shankar Prasad told HT.
Administrative expenses are also on the decline in 2014-15.
“BSNL was a Rs 10,000-crore profit-making unit when Atal Bihari Vajpayee was the Prime Minister and when we took charge, it was making a loss of Rs 8,000 crore… something went wrong, we will correct it in next three years,” Prasad said.
The company has registered an impressive growth in mobile connections in recent months — It went up from 900,000 in May this year to 1.6 million in July. It has also adopted mobile number portability (MNP) from July 2015, and has since then added 1,57,564 subscribers.
