DoP, BSNL Sign MoU to Boost Connectivity

On 17th September 2025, the Department of Posts (DoP) and Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL) signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) in New Delhi to expand mobile connectivity across India, with a special focus on rural and remote areas.

The MoU is designed to strengthen BSNL’s mobile reach by bridging the digital divide and empowering rural households with affordable and reliable telecom services.
The initiative aligns with the goals of the Digital India mission, seeking to promote financial inclusion, improve digital access, and accelerate socio-economic development across diverse regions of the country.
Under this agreement, the Department of Posts will utilize its vast postal network of over 1.65 lakh Post Offices to facilitate the sale of BSNL SIM cards nationwide.
This partnership will transform post offices into last-mile service delivery hubs, significantly improving BSNL’s accessibility in both rural and urban geographies.
