The Department of Posts (DoP), under the Ministry of Communications, Government of India, and Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL) have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) on September 17, 2025, in New Delhi to expand BSNL’s mobile connectivity reach across India. Under this agreement, DoP will leverage its unparalleled postal network of over 1.65 lakh Post Offices for sale of BSNL SIM cards and mobile recharge services across the country. The vast reach of India Post, which touches almost every village and town in India, will serve as a powerful last-mile channel for BSNL to enhance its presence in both urban and rural geographies.
