BSNL joins Jio, Airtel, Vodafone Idea, soft launches eSIM services in Tamil Nadu circle
NEW DELHI: State-controlled telecom operator Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL) on Friday soft-launched its eSIM services in the Tamil Nadu circle, joining the league of its private sector rivals Reliance Jio , Bharti Airtel , and Vodafone Idea (Vi) that already commercially offer these services nationwide. BSNL said the eSIM service will enable customers to activate mobile connections without a physical SIM on compatible smartphones and wearables, adding that it will be rolled out nationwide in a phased manner. The telecom PSU has nearly 9 crore mobile users. The eSIM will enable remote provisioning via secure QR code, while digital know-your-customer (KYC) at BSNL customer service centres will facilitate quick onboarding. The eSIM can be used alongside a physical SIM in supported devices, said BSNL, adding that the service works in leading devices, including recent models from major original equipment manufacturers (OEMs). BSNL CMD Robert J Ravi said the eSIM launch underscores BSNL's commitment to secure, future-ready connectivity and Digital India, bringing customers instant, SIM-less activation, dual-SIM flexibility, and improved security versus plastic SIMs. During the soft-launch phase, customers can visit the nearest BSNL customer service centre with an eSIM-capable device and a valid ID; BSNL staff will complete digital KYC and issue a one-time QR code to download the eSIM profile. Existing users may migrate from physical SIM to eSIM, and new customers can opt in directly. Earlier, Gopal Vittal, vice-chairman and managing director, Bharti Airtel, had urged the telco's subscribers to use eSIM, citing that its eSIM can enable seamless connectivity on all devices, and also make it easier for users to track their stolen smartphones. 'We at Airtel want to do everything we can to ensure that you have as convenient and efficient a connectivity experience as possible,' Vittal had said. London-based telco group GSMA, in a whitepaper, earlier said that eSIMs enable telcos to expand their business into emerging markets, such as automotive, wearables, and consumer electronics, while eliminating SIM card distribution costs and creating new distribution models for devices and for marketing of subscriptions. The adoption of eSIMs has, however, been limited to some high-end Android smartphones and Apple devices, and premium smartwatches with the ecosystem being largely fragmented.

Singtel logs 14% rise in first-quarter profit on Optus, regional partners' boost
Singapore Telecommunications posted a 14% increase in first-quarter underlying profit on Wednesday, driven by strong results from its Australian unit Optus and contributions from regional associates, including India's Bharti Airtel . Singtel 's improved performance highlighted price hikes for telecom services in key markets and resilient growth from its regional associates, led by Bharti Airtel, whose post-tax contribution from India and South Asia more than doubled during the quarter. Post-tax contribution from regional associates, including Bharti Airtel, Indonesia's Telkomsel, and Thailand's AIS, grew 24.5% to S$468 million. As a result, Singtel's first-quarter underlying net profit rose to S$686 million ($534.77 million) from S$603 million a year earlier, largely in line with the consensus estimate of S$686.9 million, according to Visible Alpha. "We achieved a strong set of first-quarter results despite ongoing macroeconomic uncertainties and currency fluctuations," Singtel CEO Yuen Kuan Moon said. On a statutory basis, Singtel reported a net profit of S$2.88 billion, sharply higher from S$690 million seen last year, bolstered by one-off gains from the sale of a partial stake in Airtel and the Intouch-Gulf Energy merger. Yuen forecast the telecom operator's data centre business to be a "bright spot" in the ongoing financial year as its data centres in Thailand and Singapore near completion.
