BSNL will upgrade all its 4G towers to 5G within six to eight months, Union Telecom Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia announced. Built entirely on indigenous technology, BSNL's 92,500 4G towers mark a major step in India's telecom self-reliance. The state-run operator reported a ₹5,000 crore operating profit this year and is preparing for the next phase of AI-driven digital growth.
