New Delhi: These days the big telecom companies of the country have given a big blow to the customers by making their prepaid plans expensive. Reliance Jio, which is counted among the largest telecom companies, has also made its plans expensive, which has increased the burden on the pockets of the users. On the other hand, the country’s government telecom company is going to give a big gift to the users next year. BSNL has announced to start all India 4G services by September 2022.
This service extension will cost Rs 900 crore. It was India’s communications minister Devusinh Chouhan who gave these figures to Parliament, as well as the possibility of the government selling its majority stake in BSNL to a private entity.
