BSNL finally connects: Rs 280 cr profit after 18 years, fuelled by Rs 3.22 lakh cr public recharge

Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL), the state-owned telecom operator, has reported a net profit of Rs 280 crore for the quarter ending March 31, 2025.

This marks the company’s second consecutive profitable quarter after nearly two decades of financial losses.

The result stands in contrast to the Rs 849 crore loss registered in the same quarter a year earlier. This achievement follows a Rs 262 crore profit in the third quarter of FY25, which was BSNL’s first quarterly profit since 2007, according to a Times of India report.
