The company is planning to bolster its nationwide network. The Department of Telecommunications (DoT) on Thursday informed that the Rs 47,000 crore capital expenditure (capex) investment will focus on strengthening and upgrading 4G and 5G capabilities, modernising transmission systems, and enhancing the quality of service in urban and rural regions. Along with this, the state-owned telecom company is also offering a Freedom Offer to its users at a price of just Rs 1.

With this strategy**,** BSNL succeeded in gaining users from Jio and Airtel. 'With a record Rs 25,000 crore capex last year and a fresh Rs 47,000 crore plan in place, India's telecom growth story is getting stronger,' the DoT said on X. BSNL To Boost 4G And 5G Networks Telecom Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia stated that BSNL is working on its commitment to set up country-designed 4G infrastructure under the Atmanirbhar Bharat initiative. Last year, the company completed the highest capital expenditure of Rs 25,000 crore. Now, it is planning to roll out one lakh 4G towers across the country by investing Rs 47,000 crore. This will provide better connectivity to BSNL users. BSNL is using indigenous technology for upgrading its network, the minister told ETTelecom, emphasising that India is one of the few countries that has its own telecom system. Scindia added that this step of BSNL will provide better coverage in rural and remote areas. BSNL's Freedom Offer On the occasion of Independence Day, the state-owned company BSNL has introduced a powerful Freedom Offer for its new customers. It has introduced Rs 1 plan. In the Rs 1 plan, users are being offered unlimited calling, 2GB 4G data per day and 100 SMS per day. Notably, internet speed will be reduced to 40 kbps after the daily limit is reached.

Airtel's Free AI Offer With Perplexity Faces Downgrade Charges: What The Company Said
Last Updated: Airtel AI offer promises features worth Rs 17,000 from the Perplexity Pro version but it seems people are not sure if they get it Perplexity AI offer in India with Airtel plan has faced new charges which accuse the company of delivering Pro-Lite version of its premium plan to these subscribers. The Airtel AI offer is claimed to bring features worth Rs 17,000 with its one year plan but a recent post on Reddit said the performance of the supposed free AI offer was less than satisfactory. These charges clearly did not go down well with Perplexity who has reportedly denied these claims and promises that the free AI offer comes with all the premium features. Perplexity AI Airtel Offer: What The Company Said Jesse Dwyer from the company was quoted saying this in a report, 'It is absolutely false that Airtel customers get a different version of Perplexity Pro than our Pro subscribers. India is very dear to us as a company and we would hope to correct this misunderstanding for Indian readers." The quote in the Financial Express also cited concerns like misinformation about the company and how people are supposedly using it for their own engagement. The statement was more or less warranted after the post said the free AI offer for Airtel users did not deliver on the full Perplexity AI package. The post claimed the Perplexity Pro version linked to Airtel numbers were slow, not citing sources and the answers were less than impressive. Perplexity Pro is a premium AI tier like ChatGPT Plus and Gemini AI Pro, offering a host of features and access to AI models like Claude and others. Airtel Perplexity Pro Offer: Features Worth Rs 17,000 For Free The Perplexity Pro offer is claimed to give you features worth Rs 17,000 for free, these are: Airtel says the offer can be redeemed only between July 17, 2025 and January 17, 2026 after which the free deal will not be available to its customers. Existing Perplexity Pro subscribers can also avail this offer. view comments Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's. Please keep discussions respectful and constructive.
