Govt tells BSNL to look at options, including closure

NEW DELHI: The government has asked struggling state-owned telco BSNL to look at all options, from a revival plan to disinvestment and even closure, as it looks to tackle the bleeding at India’s largest loss-making PSU.
The direction to the company – which had accumulated losses of Rs 31,287 crore at the end of 2017-18 – was given following a meeting of top BSNL officials with telecom secretary Aruna Sundararajan, sources told TOI.
