BSNL's net loss grows, but 4G boost brings hope

Business Nov 18, 2025

BSNL just posted a net loss of ₹1,357 crore for July-September 2025, up from ₹1,048 crore last quarter.
The main reasons? Higher costs from big investments and more spending on loans.
Even with these losses, the company is betting big on its future.

More users join in as revenue climbs

Here's some good news: BSNL's revenue actually rose to ₹5,166.7 crore this quarter—thanks to an increase in mobile revenues and a steady uptick in subscribers after launching 4G.
The subscriber base grew to 92.3 million and average revenue per user jumped by 12% to ₹91.
Enterprise services fell by 10%, but BSNL is focused on expanding mobile offerings and getting back on track financially.
