BSNL loses over 21 lakh users in June

NEW DELHI: BSNL lost over 21 lakh wireless subscribers in June as the state-run telecom company cleaned up its base of non-active users.

According to the figures released by sectoral regulator Trai, BSNL lost 21.40 lakh subscribers in June and its user base has shrunk to 8.94 crore at the end of month.

"The reason for the decline is that we are removing non-active customers as part of the clean-up. The non-active users have been accumulating in the user base for the last 10 years and now we are removing them," BSNL director (consumer mobility) Anupam Shrivastava told PTI.
