BSNL To Get 4G Spectrum From April 1

As part of its revival package, the government will provide the whole spectrum on April 1, 2020. After that, the operator will roll out its services in the rest of the circles.

"BSNL has been allotted 4G spectrum from April 1 and 4G technology would be fully implemented within 19 months," Minister of State for Telecom Sanjay Shamrao Dhotre said in parliament. Under its revival package, the government has also asked employees to take VRS, and so far 90,000 have opted for the same. In fact, the Department of Telecom has approved the merger between both public sector entities (MTNL and BSNL).
