BSNL not to raise tariff in near future, says CMD

NEW DELHI: State-owned telecom company Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL) has said that it won’t increase tariffs in the near future even though all its private peers have raised tariffs by up to 25%.

“We can clearly say we are not going to increase our tariffs in the near future. Today, BSNL’s prime interest is to see that its consumers are happy and to win their confidence. We don’t see any need for tariff hikes now,” said Robert Ravi, Chairman and Managing Director of BSNL.
