GoM recommends 4G spectrum allocation to BSNL s Delhi and Mumbai circles
January 31, 2021
Left out MTNL citing its high debt level
A Group of Ministers (GoM) has recommended allocation of 4G spectrum to only to Bharat Sanchar Nigam Ltd (BSNL) in Delhi and Mumbai circles, and not to Mahanagar Telephone Nigam Ltd (MTNL) as earlier decided. This follows the GoM’s recent decision to defer the merger of the two State-owned firms, citing MTNL’s high debt.
With no 4G spectrum allocation, MTNL will have to use BSNL’s radio waves to offer the services. MTNL will continue to provide 2G services using its own spectrum in the two circles it operates. A decision on 4G spectrum allocation will be taken only after the Cabinet decides on the two companies’ merger , sources said
