The company was founded only in October 2000 but since then they had continued on to be the world's seventh largest telecommunications company. BSNL handles a number of voice and data related services such as VoIP, GSM mobile, and Broadband Internet service, among others.

BSNL is very confident to say that it had installed a substantial number of telecommunication infrastructures that allowed them to provide a strong groundwork for the services that they provide to their clients. Right now, they have at least 47.3 million lines to accommodate the same number of telephone service subscribers. And for GSM mobile services, their capacity is presently at 20.1 million.

This gives BSNL the edge and the capability to serve both the urban and rural areas of India. In fact, they are the only provider that can bridge these two together in terms of telecommunication facilities. BSNL's wide network had certainly made a big difference in India's advancement in this particular field.

Aside from the optimum service they provide, BSNL also gives their clients a wide ranging and very transparent subscription plans. BSNL ensures that every potential client coming from all walks of life can find the tariff scheme most suitable to them.

Currently, BSNL enjoys at least 600,000 broadband Internet clients both in home and business sectors.

BSNL is turning over an estimated amount of US $8 billion in gross income every year. That amounts to around $2 billion net income for the business. And if BSNL's infrastructures and assets were totaled, it would amount to as much as US $14 billion.

And even if BSNL is enjoying this much success in India's telecommunications industry, they are certainly not resting in their laurels. They are presently aiming to increase the 47 million lines that they own into 125 million by the end of 2007. This feat is estimated to be worth US $16 million in investments. But the business that investment will bring will certainly return that amount threefold.
