Mahanagar Telephone Nigam (MTNL) has doubled free data in all the broadband plans of landline as well as mobile for one month to encourage work from home for people in the wake of rising cases of coronavirus in the country. The new scheme will be provided to customers in Delhi and Mumbai where the company operates. New customers opting for copper cable-based connection will not have to pay even installation charges but will need to buy a modem for the service.
MTNL was set up by the Government of India to upgrade the quality of telecom services, expand the telecom network, and introduce new services and to raise revenue for telecom development needs of India's key metros -- Delhi and Mumbai.
