DoT may shelve BSNL’s 2nd VRS proposal

After uproar from the employees’ unions, the department of telecommunications (DoT) has likely put the second voluntary retirement scheme (VRS) proposal for BSNL on hold, officials said.

The telecom department will hold further consultations internally and is also expected to loop in Boston Consulting Group (BCG) before going ahead with the proposal. Notably, BCG is being paid Rs 132 crore, to draw a revival plan for BSNL and help it to compete with private players.
