BSNL mobile market share declining - but increase in AP, Kerala, Haryana circles


MoC Sri Ravisankar Prasad informed Rajyasabha on 13.3.2015 that BSNL's mobile services market share declined overall from 10.72% in March 2012 to 8.62% in March 2014. But it's market share increased in AP-Telangana circle from 13.5 to 14.08%, in Haryana circle from 13.29 to 14.11% and in Kerala circle from 20.91 to 21.67% during this period. The reasons given by him are heavy competition, aggressive marketing by private operators and inadequate investment in expansion/ modernisation of its network over the period 2008-12 leading to network coverage issues. He further told that now phase-VII expansion of BSNL's mobile network is taking place at a cost of Rs 4804.77 crores adding 14421 2G sites and 10605 2G sites across the country. 
Thus the poor performance is not due to the employees, but due to the failure of the Government and management in procuring the required equipment for expanding mobile network.

That is why the Forum of BSNL Unions/Associations is demanding immediate procurement of equipment required for expanding/ modernising mobile network and for providing the required capital as loan with nominal interest.
