BSNL Breaks Silence on ₹1,757-Crore Jio Billing Controversy

April 8, 2025, 7:15 pm

Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL) has strongly refuted the charge of a Rs 1,757.76-crore revenue loss to the Centre on account of non-billing of Reliance Jio Infocomm Limited (RJIL). The government-owned telecom service provider explained that the amount, quoted in a government audit, was arrived at through a misinterpretation of contractual terms and does not represent real losses.

BSNL Refutes Charge of Rs 1,757.76-Crore Loss

Rebutting the Department of Expenditure (DoE), BSNL declared that previous claims of revenue loss were due to the falsification and misuse of provisions under add-on components in the Master Service Agreement (MSA) with Reliance Jio.

As per BSNL, the company has already invoiced Rs 108 crore to Jio and is seeking further payments over and above base rental charges under the terms of the MSA. “There is no revenue loss to BSNL, as previous demand, and therefore, loss (of Rs 1,757.76-crore) had been erroneously overestimated due to misrepresentation and application of the clause for add-on components,” reiterated the company in its response.

CAG Report Highlights Alleged Shortcomings

The Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG) had previously pointed a finger at BSNL for not strictly enforcing the terms of the MSA, indicating that the telco did not bill Jio for extra technologies implemented on BSNL’s passive infrastructure between 2016 and 2020. The CAG report estimated the total revenue loss at Rs 1,757.76 crore, of which Rs 29 crore resulted from non-compliance with escalation clauses for infrastructure sharing charges.

“BSNL failed to enforce the Master Service Agreement (MSA) with M/s. Reliance Jio Infocomm (RJIL) and did not bill it for the additional technology used on BSNL’s shared passive infrastructure, resulting in loss of Rs 1,757.76-crore and penal interest thereon, between May 2014 to March 2024 to the government exchequer,” CAG in its report said, as per an earlier report.

BSNL Disagrees With CAG’s Interpretation

BSNL rebuffed the audit report, claiming that the CAG report ignored the bilateral nature of the MSA with Jio. The telecom company contended that terms for extra technologies were negotiated in April 2018, and a final addendum to the MSA was executed on January 31, 2025, to provide for fees for both TDD and FDD 4G technologies over and above the normal purview.

The revised agreement aligns with government policies encouraging infrastructure sharing among telecom players, BSNL noted.

BSNL’s Infrastructure Sharing Strategy

BSNL initiated its infrastructure-sharing program in 2014 to cut capital and operational expenses. By 2020, the network had shared 13,146 towers, including 8,363 with Jio, 2,779 with Bharti Airtel, and 1,782 with Vodafone Idea.

Jio paid installments regularly each year: Rs 171.81 crore (2016–17), Rs 472.80 crore (2017–18), Rs 678.38 crore (2018–19), and Rs 402.28 crore in the first three quarters of 2019–20.

BSNL is now set to file its response to the Centre after taking required internal clearances, due this month end.

Jio Follows Airtel, Signs Deal with SpaceX for Starlink Services in India

March 12, 2025, 10:36 am

Reliance Jio Platforms Ltd has inked a deal with SpaceX to launch Starlink’s broadband internet services in India. The partnership is conditional on SpaceX receiving approval from the regulators to sell Starlink in the nation. This comes after Bharti Airtel recently partnered with SpaceX to offer similar services.

Enhancing India’s Digital Infrastructure

Mathew Oommen, Group CEO of Reliance Jio, highlighted the disruptive nature of the collaboration. Our collaboration with SpaceX to bring Starlink to India strengthens our commitment and marks a transformative step toward seamless broadband connectivity for all. By integrating Starlink into Jio’s broadband ecosystem, we are expanding our reach and enhancing the reliability and accessibility of high-speed broadband in this AI-driven era, empowering communities and businesses across the country,” Oommen said.

The deal enables Jio and SpaceX to capitalize on synergies between their offerings. Jio will sell Starlink solutions via its retail outlets and website, making the satellite-based broadband service more broadly available.

Broadening High-Speed Internet Throughout India

The collaboration seeks to improve broadband penetration throughout India, including remote and rural areas. Jio, the largest mobile operator globally in terms of data traffic, and Starlink, the foremost low Earth orbit (LEO) satellite constellation operator, will use their synergies to provide quick and efficient internet services.

Jio will not just sell Starlink hardware but will also establish customer support facilities for installation and activation. The effort is part of Jio’s vision to ensure smooth internet availability to businesses, small and medium enterprises, and communities in India.

Starlink Supplements Jio AirFiber and Jio Fiber

Starlink will supplement JioAirFiber and JioFiber by providing connectivity to hard-to-reach areas. The alliance facilitates a rapid and cost-effective roll-out of high-speed internet offerings.

Jio and SpaceX are also exploring other regions of collaboration for further developing the digital ecosystem in India.

“We applaud Jio’s commitment to advancing India’s connectivity. We are looking forward to working with Jio and receiving authorisation from the Government of India to provide more people, organizations and businesses with access to Starlink’s high-speed internet services,” President and COO at SpaceX Shotwell said.

This alliance reflects Jio’s vision to deliver strong, future-proof connectivity solutions, connecting India and bridging the digital divide.

Meet Jainam and Jivika: Dubai Siblings Who Now Own the Jiohotstar Domain

October 27, 2024, 2:04 pm

In an unexpected turn of events, a Delhi-based app developer who purchased the JioHotstar domain and sought money from Reliance Industries has sold it to two siblings in Dubai, according to a report by India Today.

The app developer, who referred to himself as “a dreamer,” initially contacted Reliance Industries, proposing to sell the JioHotstar domain for just over one crore. His intention was to fund an executive MBA program at Cambridge University in the UK. However, Reliance Industries declined to engage in any negotiations, as reported by the news agency PTI. The domain has now been transferred to 13-year-old Jainam Jain and 10-year-old Jivika Jain from Dubai.

The siblings updated the website on Saturday to inform visitors that they acquired it to “support a young software developer from Delhi.” In a letter posted on the site, they shared details of their holiday in India, which they referred to as their “Seva journey.” During this trip, they taught children and collected donations, which they used to purchase the domain.

They stated, “Through sharing our journey here, we aim to inspire others and keep the domain open for future sale to anyone who wants to continue this positive mission.”

As of now, Reliance Industries has not issued a statement regarding the new ownership of JioHotstar.com. The Delhi-based developer had acquired this specific domain after hearing rumors in 2023 about a potential merger between Jio Cinema and Hotstar. With the merger finally taking place this year, he saw a prime opportunity to sell the domain to RIL while funding his further studies.

As Jio, Airtel, and Vi Face Customer Losses Following Tariff Hikes, BSNL Gains Ground

September 21, 2024, 2:42 pm

In July, major telecom operators like Reliance Jio, Bharti Airtel, and Vodafone Idea experienced significant customer losses after increasing their mobile service prices. Meanwhile, government-owned Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL) added new subscribers, even as the overall telecom user base in India saw a slight decline.

Jio lost 750,000 customers, bringing its total to 475.76 million, while Airtel suffered the largest drop of 1.69 million, reducing its base to 387.32 million. Vi also lost 1.41 million customers, resulting in a user base of 215.88 million. In contrast, BSNL, which did not hike its tariffs, gained 2.93 million new users, raising its customer base to 88.51 million.

This shift caused market shares to adjust, with Jio’s share decreasing to 40.68%, Airtel’s to 33.12%, and Vi’s to 18.46%. Conversely, BSNL’s market share increased from 7.33% to 7.59%.

In the high-value 4G and 5G segment, Airtel was the only private operator to gain ground, adding 2.56 million users in July. Jio lost 760,000 4G/5G customers, while Vi’s 3G/4G base dropped by 1.1 million. Both Vi and BSNL have yet to offer 5G services, though BSNL recently launched 4G in select areas.

BSNL also saw a boost in active users, gaining 2.91 million to reach a total of 49.49 million, while Jio, Airtel, and Vi lost 210,000, 1.17 million, and 3.03 million active users, respectively.

The total telecom subscriber base in India slightly declined to 1,205.17 million in July from 1,205.64 million in June.

In the fixed-line sector, which grew by around 1% to 35.56 million, Jio led by adding over 480,000 new subscribers, followed by Airtel with 136,000. BSNL, however, lost 134,000 fixed-line customers. The broadband user base also grew, increasing to 946.19 million by the end of July from 940.75 million in June.

In contrast, other telecom providers, including Airtel, Vodafone Idea, and BSNL, remained unaffected, with no significant disruptions reported.

Social Media Reactions on X

As the outage persisted, frustrated users turned to social media platform X (formerly Twitter) to voice their concerns. Many users shared their struggles with the service disruption, while others responded with humor, posting memes and jokes to cope with the inconvenience.

One user wrote, “Mumbaikars please update the status of your Jio network #JioDown?”, while another speculated, “Jio Service Down due to fire in IDC (Data Centre) #JioDown #DataCenter #ServerDown.”

Government Clarifies Airtel, Jio, Vodafone Tariff Hikes

July 7, 2024, 11:11 am

The government has rebutted claims suggesting it permitted Reliance Jio, Airtel, and Vodafone Idea to independently announce tariff hikes without oversight. Recently, all three telecom companies raised the prices of their prepaid and postpaid plans effective from July 3, 2024.

According to an official press release, the regulatory body clarified that the current mobile services market, comprising three private sector players and one public sector player, operates under market dynamics of supply and demand. The rates for telecommunications services, it stated, are determined by market forces within the framework established by the independent regulator, TRAI (Telecom Regulatory Authority of India).

“The Government refrains from intervening in free market decisions, as this falls within the purview of TRAI, and tariffs are subject to forbearance,” the release affirmed. “Telecom Service Providers (TSPs) notify TRAI of any changes in mobile service tariffs, which TRAI monitors to ensure compliance with regulatory guidelines.”

Highlighting recent developments, the government emphasized that TSPs had increased mobile service prices after a span of over two years. It also noted substantial investments by some TSPs in rolling out 5G services nationwide, resulting in a significant rise in median mobile speeds to approximately 100 Mbps and an improvement in India’s international ranking from 111 in October 2022 to 15 presently.

“In safeguarding subscriber interests and fostering the systematic growth of the telecom sector, including investments in advanced technologies such as 5G, 6G, IoT/M2M for Industry 4.0, maintaining the financial viability of the sector is crucial,” TRAI asserted.

Jio Introduces JioCinema Premium Annual Plan At Rs 299

May 25, 2024, 3:12 pm

Last month, Jio reduced the price of its JioCinema Premium ad-free subscription plan from Rs 59 to Rs 29 per month for a single device. Now, the company has introduced a new pricing scheme, offering the JioCinema Premium ad-free plan for Rs 299 for a 12-month period. This marks a significant discount compared to the previous annual subscription price of Rs 999.

However, unlike the JioCinema Premium Family plan, which permits usage on up to four devices at Rs 59 per month, there is currently no annual family plan available. Until recently, JioCinema did not offer an ad-free plan. The introduction of these new annual and monthly plans not only ensures an ad-free viewing experience but also enables users to stream content in up to 4K resolution, with the exception of live sports content.

Amidst the trend of popular OTT platforms like Amazon Prime Video incorporating advertisements for their paid users, JioCinema is taking a different approach by offering an ad-free experience. It emerges as one of the most cost-effective OTT platforms providing such a service. Opting for the annual plan proves advantageous for users, as it offers the same benefits as the monthly plan but at a lower cost, facilitating savings.

Just like the monthly plan, the annual subscription consolidates all content from platforms such as HBO, Peacock, and Paramount Plus. However, certain regional content like IPL is accessible for free as part of the ad-supported model.

JioCinema is accessible on multiple platforms including iPhone, Android, Google TV, FireOS, Apple TV, and through web browsers. According to Jio, the streaming quality is contingent on the resolution of the screen.

Will Your Phone Bill Rise?Mobile Operators Most Likely To Hike Tariffs By 25%

May 14, 2024, 6:09 pm

In the aftermath of the General election, mobile phone users may witness a huge 25 percent hike in their bills in the coming months. As Telecom operators are now getting ready for the fourth round of tariff increases.

This step is expected boost ARPU (Average Revenue Per User) for these companies.

As per Axis Capital’s report, it asserts that it expects a meaningful hike of around 25% in the near term on the back of stable competitive environment, need for profit improvement considering their heavy investment in 5G and persistent government support.

However, the report also says, that even though the hike may seem huge, but it will be manageable for both urban and rural users, given their data usage.

As both urban and rural area will witness increase in telecom spending by 3.6% and 5.9% respectively.

According to TMT industry leader Peeyush Vaish, the operators will most likely monetize their 5G capex investment by adjusting the prices of their bundled packs. However, the TMT Deloitte leader also noted, the consumers will still remain loyal to their operators, as long as they experience a good internet connection.

But the analysts also predict that Bharti Airtel and Jio might come out as a prime beneficiary of this wireless pack increase.

JioMart layoffs:Over 1,000 employees, including 500 executives were asked to resign, says report

May 23, 2023, 12:08 pm

In an effort to streamline operations after buying Metro Cash & Carry, JioMart is said to have fired around 1,000 workers. Reliance Industries’ online wholesale division intends to adopt a wider cost-cutting plan in the upcoming weeks that involves a two-thirds staff reduction in its wholesale division. After JioMart started a pricing war in the B2B grocery market, these tactics are meant to increase margins and decrease losses.Over 1,000 staff, including 500 executives from JioMart’s corporate office, have been asked to quit, according to sources with knowledge of the situation who spoke to The Economic Times. The remaining sales workers have been moved to a variable pay system, cutting their fixed income, and hundreds of people have been placed on a performance improvement plan. LiveMint was unable to independently confirm the assertion.There is a crossover of responsibilities in the backend and online sales operations as a result of the recent acquisition of Metro Cash and Carry, which added 3,500 permanent employees. Accordingly, JioMart intends to close more than half of its 150 or so fulfilment centres, which provide groceries and other items to neighbourhood stores.According to senior company executives, JioMart seen a spike in quarterly orders through WhatsApp in the past. JioMart and WhatsApp worked together to merge their systems in August 2022, giving users a seamless purchasing experience inside the social messaging service.Customers were able to browse the large JioMart catalogue, add goods to their cart, and complete purchases all within the WhatsApp platform thanks to this integration.

Its branches will spread wider, its roots will go deeper and it will touch the lives of an ever-increasing number of Indians, enriching them, empowering them, nourishing them, and caring for them,” said the Chairman.
“But we will forever remember with gratitude our founder who planted the seed of this Vata Vruksh forty-five years ago. In Hindu tradition, Vata Vruksh is noble, it is sacred. Whenever I think of Reliance and the mission for which my father founded it, I believe that there is, similarly, something noble and sacred about that mission,” he added.
Mukesh Ambani claimed that Reliance’s mission is to make India prosperous by developing world-class businesses and to bring happiness in the lives of all Indians. “As you know, we are living through a time when the world is beginning to see the 21st Century as ‘India’s Century’. Our Prime Minister Narendra Modi ji, has aptly described it as India’s Amrut Kaal. The next 25 years are going to be the most transformational in the 5000-year-old history of India. This is when India is poised to achieve exponential economic growth. We can become a USD 40 trillion economy by 2047 – the Centenary of our Independence — in a sustainable and stable manner,” he said.
He termed the young demography and new technology acquired by India as a blessing and said that this mission is realistic and achievable. “From an era of shortages, scarcity and widespread poverty, India will enter an era of inclusive prosperity, an abundance of opportunities, and unimaginable improvement in the ease of living and quality of life of 1.4 billion Indians. Similarly, at a time when uncertainty, volatility and even regression can be seen in many parts of the world, India is being regarded globally as a Shining Spot. Therefore, I would like every leader and every employee in Reliance to know that destiny has given us an opportunity — and also a responsibility — to make a pivotal contribution to the realisation of the enormous promise of India’s Amrut Kaal,” Mukesh Ambani said.
