BSNL market share reaches 10.63% on account of network expansion

NEW DELHI: State-owned telecom firm Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited Friday said its mobile services market share has increased to 10.63% (till February 2019), mainly on account of network expansion.

BSNL operates in 20 out of 22 telecom circles in the country. As of March 2018, its market share was 10.22%.

It has gained market share at a time when other incumbent telecom operators have been losing it after entry of Reliance Jio in 2016. Its market share in March 2016 was 9.05% in its licensed service area and 8.35% on pan-India basis.
