BSNL Telephones were a part of the Daily lives in India until 2005. The government of India initially managed the so called “Telephone department”, its communication network and the Telephonic organization as a Body under Department of Telecommunications and later incorporated it under the name BSNL. During its peak, the BSNL and their telephone devices were ubiquitous on their presence, almost at every home and carried the necessary communication of the country. Once upon a time, BSNL’s capital expenditure was more than that of  Indian Railways and its profit was more than that of Indian Oil. The good old days did not last long and BSNL incurred magnificent losses post the entry of private players into to the Indian telecommunication space. Currently, Ministry of Finance proposed the complete closure of BSNL citing the same as unprofitable venture.
