BSNL MTNL can function without merger?

 the Department of Telecommunications (DoT) plans to soon finalise policy decisions, required to enable state-run telecom firms Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL) and Mahanagar Telephone Nigam Limited (MTNL) to synergise their operations without a merger.
An apex committee under DoT Secretary R Chandraskehar has been set up to oversee the required policy decisions and institutional framework for an alliance between the two public sector undertakings which have been incurring losses.

Another permanent committee has been formed to prepare a suitable plan for implementation of the report by an earlier committee in a time bound manner which has favoured synergy between the firms. This committee would report to the apex committee, which would provide overall guidance and direction, a senior official from DoT said.
