BSNL increases its Market Share – Congratulations!

BSNL, market share, profit

Despite cut throat competition and government favour to private telcos and discriminating BSNL, the latter has increased its market share both in total connections ( mobile + Land line) and also in mobiles. There is a slight decrease in the land lines.

From 9.66 % market share in mobiles in 2016 BSNL has increased it to 12.64 % in 2018. In the total it is 9.59% in 2016 to 10.48% in 2018. The loss in land lines is from 58.63% to 52.64%, which is mainly due to the change over from landlines to mobile.

This increase in the market share is mainly due to extra effort made by the BSNL management and BSNL workers under the leadership of AUAB. Hearty Congratulations!

But unfortunately the total loss has increased  to Rs.4844 crore. While there were five circles ie. Andaman – Nicobar, J and K, Karnataka, Kerala, and Odisha in profit last time, it has been reduced to two circles ie. Andaman and Kerala only this year. Kerala’s profit has also been reduced from R. 584 crore to 373 crores.

The main reasons for this downfall are demonetisation, GST, favouring of Reliane Jio and other telcos by the government, discriminationg and ignoring its own company, BSNL, by not allotting 4G Spectrum, not allowing to take loans for expansion etc.

The government should allot 4 G spectrum immediately, allow BSNL to take loans, reduce the pension contribution to be paid by the BSNL on the basis of actual pay instead of maximum of the pay scale, The various payments to the government should be allowed in more installments as allowed to private telcoms etc. The government should also direct all the central, state governments as well as central/state PSUs only to avail the services of BSNL and MTNL. The vacant buildings and quarters should be rented to the state government/PSUs etc. Various departments of the government will be able to have training classes etc. in the ALTTC, BRAITT, RTTCs  etc. Monetisation   of unused plots also can be made made, of course, taking in to consideration future developments.

Prime Minister is reported to have stated ‘ PSUs are born to die’. We don’t agree. BSNL is born to live and improve and become a mighty and efficient service.

BSNL, increase, market share

Communications Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad stated in Parliament on 27th April 2016 that BSNL will be increasing its market share from 9.43% in December 2015 to 10% in March 2016. Good News! The initiative of the workers andmanagement  are getting results

Along with making statements, the Minister should ensure that the refund of spectrum charges (Rs. 6,000 crore), USOF assistance (Rs. 1,250 crore) and Income Tax Refund (about Rs. 8,000 – 10,000) to enable it to purchase equipment, upgrading etc.

BSNL on Revival Path, But much more to be done

25 Thursday Feb 2016

BSNL, market share, Service, SWAS

BSNL is on the revival path after a weak performance for 4-5 years. It has increased its wireless connections systematically during the last few months at an accelerated rate of 1.41% putting Bharti Airtel, Vodafone and Idea behind in increase of numbers. BSNL market share has been increased to 8.16% from the earlier 8.06%. However, BSNL has to much improve its revival package to compete with the private companies:

As per the TRAI report for December 2015, the statistics are as below:

I. Land Line Sector

First position BSNL with 59.31% market share.

II. Wireless Sector

  1. Bharti Airtel : 24.07%
  2. Vodafone     : 19.15%
  3. Idea            :  17.01%
  4. Reliance      :    9.98%
  5. Aircel          :    8.47%
  6. BSNL          :    8.16%

III. Broadband

  1. Bharti Airtel  : 23.07%
  2. Vodafone      : 18.98%
  3. Idea             : 15.54%
  4. BSNL            : 14.54%

Both the BSNL Management, the Unions and the workers have to make maximum efforts to improve the financial position of BSNL as also the service to the customers. It is not as simple and easy as telling. The main obstruction is the anti-PSU policy of the government which refuses to assist BSNL and even deny the financial dues to be paid by Government. Now the BSNL Management and Unions have initiated the ‘Service With A Smile’ (SWAS) programme, which has improved the BSNL position. But still, BSNL is far behind, except in the Landline sector, where it is still in the leading position with about 60% market share. The strategy should be to maintain and improve its position in Landlines and improve in the other sectors.

Let us make the ‘SWAS’ campaign a great success through dedicated and efficient work and save BSNL and its workers.

BSNL, market share, Statistics

While the BSNL Management and workers are unitedly trying to strengthen BSNL and also to provide more connections, the statistics as on 31-03-2015 by the TRAI give a non-positive picture. BSNL has gone down on the number of connections and market share. While other operators have increased their connections and market share, the actual connections of BSNL, both in landlines and wireless have gone down. The total market share has down below 10% and in wireless it is around 8% only and in the sixth position.

It is a real warning bell. The government, BSNL Management and employees have to jointly work with maximum effort and turn the trend and bring back BSNL to better position.

The statistics as on 31-03-2015 for BSNL is given below:

Total Wireless Connections: 970 million     BSNL : 77 millions  Market Share  8%

Total connections (Landline and Wireless) : 996.1 million BSNL : 93.24 million Market Share : 9.4%

Broad band connections : 15.54 Millions BSNL: 9.8 millions Market Share : 65%

First of all, Com.Namboodiri expressed his happiness that BSNL is considered as the 10th biggest company with maximum assets.

1. Starting of WiFi in cities and other important places in co-ordination with the Corporations/government: As agreement has been made between the NDMC New Delhi and Indus Towers for providing WiFi in Delhi, BSNL can start providing the same with co-ordination with the Corporations and government. CMD stated that already such proposals are being mooted out in some circles. That will be processed.

2. Reduced Market Share of BSNL: Com. Namboodiri  as per the latest statistics, many of the circles are far below even the average market share of BSNL. Urgent steps are required to improve the position. CMD stated that urgent action is being taken to improve the position.

3. Implementation of labour laws for the casual contract workers: Com. Namboodiri pointed out the non-payment of minimum wages, non-implementation of EPF, ESI etc. Specifically he mentioned about the problem in Haldwani in Utterakhand where workers are retrenched for demanding minimum wage etc. CMD assured he will look in to all the matters connected with the same.

Dangerous Signal – BSNL Market Share at 8.62% in December 2014, the lowest ever.

18 Wednesday Mar 2015

BSNL, market share

Dangerous  Signal – BSNL Market Share at 8.62% in December 2014, the lowest ever.

The warning bell has been rung. The market share of BSNL in mobile has gone down to the lowest ever of 8.62%! It means that more than 91 % is under the control of the private companies, both Indian and foreign.

Despite the Save BSNL Campaign by the entire workers and their unions and Associations, this dangerous situation has come. In the mobile sector, BSNL lost 12,36,909 connetions in one month between  Dec.14 – Jan.15. At present it has got only 8.01 crore connections whereas the leader Bharti Airtel has got 22.00 crore. 1,32,535 landlines has been lost in the same period and the remaining landlines are 1.68 crore.

The market share of each circle in the mobile sector as on 31-12-2014 is given below, which is as per the satement of the Minister in the Parliament on 13th March 2015.

Kerala (21.67%), H.P.(18.86%), North East (14.97%), Haryana (14.11%) A.P & Telengana ( 14.08%), J&K (13.93%), Odisha (12.73%), T.Nadu & Chennai (12.36%), Karnataka (11.77%), Punjab (10.31%), UP East(10.03%), Assam (7.77%),Maharashtra, Goa(7.07%), UP West, Uttarakhand (6.80%), Rajasthan, M.P., Chhattisgarh (6.51%), Gujarat(5.59%),Bihar, Jharkhand (4.51%), W.Bengal, Sikkim (4.28%), Kolkata (3.65%).

If so many landlines and mobiles have been surrendered/disconnected in a month, there is something serious with BSNL and its workers. These telephones which are disconnected might have some reasons. For landlines, of course, the major reason may be conversion to mobile. But what about the reduction in mobile itself?

In mobile as well as Broadband we have lost the first position. Our position in the landlines is fast coming down.

We have to face the challenge squarely and make all out efforts to restore our position. We can not become irrelevant in the telecom sector. The allotment of fresh spectrum to private companies after the auction will be another challenge that we will have to face.

Your job, you salary, your future is in danger. Govt. says that BSNL will not be privatised. It is because, they could not answer the many questions raised in the Parliament on the basis of the information/letters submitted by the Forum as part of the Save BSNL Campaign. Tomorrow they can make a turn around and say that there is no need for BSNL and it can either be closed or privatised.

This is a ‘Do or Die’ battle. Let all the 2,26,000 executives and non-executives exert all their energy for improving the services and also pressurising the management and government to assist BSNL for its survival and revival.  SAVE BSNL – SAVE NATION!

Airtel leads Broadband connections, BSNL down to 2nd position.

BSNL, market share

BSNL was always in the first position in Land lines and Broadband with its valuable cables and OFC. It was thought no body can capture that position. But unfortunately, the latest statistics from TRAI gives another picture. BSNL has been relegated to the second position by Airtel.

The present market share in Broadband is as follows: Airtel 21.48%, BSNL 20.18%, Vodafone 18.91%, Idea 14.94 % and Reliance 14.94%. The balance are with small companies.

Now it is only in landline that BSNL is in No. 1 position. But again, BSNL lost 1.32 lakh connections in January 2015 alone. At present BSNL has got 1.68 crore connections only.

In mobile sector BSNL lost 12.36 connections in January 2015. At present it has got only 8.01 crore mobile connections just more than one third of what Airtel has got, which is 22.0 crore.

SAVE BSNL – SAVE NATION Campaign has to be energitised. The Management and workers have to discuss why the loss is happening and find out remedies to improve our position.

Teledensity increases to 73.69% in November 2013

31 Friday Jan 2014

BSNL, market share, MTNL, Teledensity

The TRAI has stated that the Teledensity in the country increased to 73.69% by the end of November 2013.
The mobile connections have increased from 875 million in October to 881 million in November 2013. Out of this BSNL and MTNL together hold only 11.57%. The private companies together have a market share of 88.43% with Bharti Airtel 22.31%, Vodafone 17.94 and Idea with 14.57%.
The neo-liberal policies of the government which promote and favour private corporates against the PSUs as also the inefficient BSNL Management are the causes for this down fall of the PSUs.
