The wait for BSNL's 5G service is over
Service can start from this day, Minister Scindia gave this update
A big update has come from the government telecom company regarding 5G service. Union Communications Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia has given a big update regarding BSNL's 5G service. Mobile towers are being installed across the country for BSNL's 4G service. The public sector telecom company has so far made more than 75 thousand new 4G towers live to expand its network. 1 lakh 4G towers will be installed in the next one to two months, after which preparations will be made to roll out BSNL's 5G service.
Union Communications Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia has confirmed that by May-June 2025, all 1 lakh 4G sites of BSNL will become operational. After this, the transition from 4G to 5G will be started, which is likely to start in June. The Department of Telecommunications has shared this statement of the Union Minister from its official X handle.
In fact, last year the government allocated a budget of more than Rs 80 thousand crore to revise Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited. This amount was allocated to upgrade the network of the government telecom company. Since then, the work of upgrading the network of BSNL is being done rapidly. In the telecom circles where BSNL has 3G service, 3G is being phased out, so that the spectrum can be used for 4G and 5G services.
Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited's 4G service is available in all telecom circles of the country. The company is working to install 4G mobile towers everywhere to expand its 4G service. After the network improves, users of private telecom companies can switch to BSNL.
