In this explosive episode of Untold Stories, we dive deep into the rise of Reliance Jio and the simultaneous decline of India’s once-dominant telecom giant, BSNL. What if we told you that Jio — the company that revolutionized mobile data in India — owes nearly ₹1,700 crore to BSNL? Shocking, right? This isn’t just a story of market competition — it’s a tale of power, politics, and possibly deliberate sabotage. BSNL, with its vast infrastructure of over 1.2 lakh telecom towers and nationwide coverage, was once unbeatable. But with the signing of a 15-year Master Service Agreement in 2014, BSNL unknowingly paved the way for Jio’s dominance — by giving the latter full access to its infrastructure. What’s even more surprising is that BSNL never billed Jio properly for its usage and expansions like 4G LTE and 5G.
