Will revive BSNL and make it profitable: Ravi Shankar Prasad

NEW DELHI: Telecom minister Ravi Shankar Prasad on Wednesday assured the Lok Sabha that state-owned telecom player BSNL is going to be revived soon.

While BSNL is reporting losses since 2010, another telecom PSU MTNL has been in the red in nine of the past 10 years. The total debt on the two firms is around Rs 40,000 crore.

“We are going to revive BSNL and make it profitable,” he told the Lower House during the question hour.
