BSNL is expanding network capacity and it will become a leading telecom operator again, its chairman and managing director RK Upadhyay said.

"BSNL has planned a Rs 40,000 crore capital for the purpose," he added.


He also said that the company is emphasizing on converting present telephone exchanges into;New Generation Network (NGN), to give all mobile facilities to land line subscribers.

On resumption of network in flood-ravaged Uttrakhand, he said: "70 telephone exchanges were affected in Uttrakhand tragedy and only 7 are to be restored now... all the 400 towers are now working there."
