BSNL’s Strong Financial Performance

Apart from the ₹5,437 crore quarterly revenue, BSNL recorded a total revenue of ₹11,134 crore for the first half of the current fiscal year. Although its quarterly revenue is 93% of the target, it has fallen 7% short of the target of ₹5,740 crore. Scindia said that BSNL is aiming for a 20% increase in its revenue for the full year, setting the annual target at ₹27,500 crore.

ARPU Climbs 12% Sequentially

Scindia also said that BSNL has improved its operations, and the company’s average revenue per user (ARPU) rose to ₹91 in Q2 FY26. This is an increase of 12% from the previous ARPU of ₹81 in Q1. “Some circles like Maharashtra, Kerala, UP East, Andaman & Nicobar, and Jammu & Kashmir have performed exceptionally well, with ARPU as high as ₹214,” Scindia said.

Based on the financial announcement, BSNL has improved its ARPU. The company is now focusing on improving its performance in weaker regions and will try to achieve its revenue goal of ₹27,500 crore by the end of the year.
