 Growth Plan
BSNL's future plan include a fast expansion programme of increasing the present 34 million lines to twice that number by 2005 and some 120 million lines by 2010.

The shift in demand from voice to data domination, and from wireline to wireless, has revolutionized the very nature of the network. BSNL has already set in place several measures that should enable it to evolve into a fully integrated multi-operator by 2005 and its incumbent status, size, infrastructure and human resource should certainly, give it a distinct advantage.

Consolidation of the network and maintaining high quality of service comparable to International standards is the key aim of the Growth Plan. Objective of the plan are:

The telephone connection shall be provided on demand and it shall be sustained.
The Network shall be made fully digital. All the technologically obsolete analog exchanges will be replaced with digital exchanges.
To provide digital transmission links up to all SDCAs.
Digital connectivity shall be made available to all the exchanges by 2007.
Extensive use of Optical fiber System in the local, Junction and long distance network so as to make available sufficient bandwidth for the spread of Internet and Information technology.
ISDN services shall be extended to all the district headquarters, subject to demand.
To provide Intelligent Network Services, progressively all over the country (major cities have already been covered).
