The Cabinet has also approved the merger of BSNL and bharat Broadband Network Limited said Ashwini Vaishnaw. The package has three key elements

  1. to improve services
  2. de-stress balance sheet
  3. expansion of fiber network

BSNL has been struggling ever since Indian telecom giants rolled out aggressive price cuts on availing 4G data. This game began with the coming in of Reliance Industries’ Jio, Bharti Airtel and Vodafone Idea.
