BSNL planning to allocate more employees towards enterprise business

Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL) is considering deploying 4 per cent of its 54,000 employees towards strengthening enterprise services, Financial Express (FE) reported, citing company sources. As things stand, 1.8 per cent of BSNL’s workforce is engaged in enterprise services.

The decision to increase human resources in the enterprise business comes at a time when BSNL has registered a dip in revenue in the segment in the last two quarters. BSNL’s revenue from the enterprise segment declined by 50 per cent and reached Rs 952 crore in the July-September quarter, from Rs 1,906 crore in the same January-March quarter of the financial year 2022-23, the FE report said citing data from the company’s financial statements.
