Back in December, BSNL reportedly cleared Rs 1,700 crore of vendors dues as confirmed by CMD P K Purwar. The corporation had also made salary payment to its employees for November. In October 2019, the government approved a Rs 69,000 crore revival package for BSNL and MTNL that included merging the two loss-making firms, monetising their assets and giving VRS to employees so that the combined entity turns profitable in two years. The two firms will also monetise assets worth Rs 37,500 crore in the next three years. MTNL has reported losses in nine of the past 10 years and BSNL too has been ringing in losses since 2010.
