BSNL bets on infra, pricing to compete in India’s 5G market

Earlier this year, BSNL had received interest from three companies for deploying its 5G Standalone (SA) network in Delhi

To deliver 5G SA services, BSNL will utilize the 900 MHz and 3.3 GHz spectrum bands. Initially, the rollout will target 100,000 subscribers, with plans to introduce 5G Fixed Wireless Access (FWA) services. The telco has already started testing its 5G indigenous technology at three locations in New Delhi — Nehru Place, Chanakyapuri and Minto Road.

BSNL has confirmed that commercial 5G services are expected to launch in 2025, following successful network trials. The 5G trials, conducted in collaboration with the Center for Development of Telematics (C-DOT) and local manufacturers, demonstrated the successful use of domestically sourced equipment and solutions.
