BSNL-to-outsource-operation and maintenance of 40000-towers-cut-expenses

A committee set up under Sam Pitroda, the Prime Minis-ter’s infrastructure advisor, to find ways to revive BSNL had suggested BSNL create a separate subsidiary for tower and all other related infrastructure to monetise the assets. So far, no decision has been taken on it.
Apart from leasing out towers, the company is also banking on enterprise business to generate revenues. In a recent interview with Business Standard, chairman and managing director R K Upadhyay had said it expected to get Rs 3,000 crore from this segment in the current financial year. Besides, it has launched a drive for all-round improvement in performance. Circle revenue is being monitored and the company is looking for at least a 15 per cent increase in revenue through various means in all the circles.
