MTNL Fined ₹11 Lakhs by TRAI for Non-Compliance and Reporting Failures
MTNL has been fined ₹11 Lakhs by TRAI for failing to submit its April 2025 compliance report and for violating quality of service regulations. The penalty includes ₹10 Lakhs for non-submission of the PMR and ₹1 Lakh for not publishing geospatial coverage maps. Payment is due within 21 days.
The fine amount of ₹11 Lakhs is relatively small compared to MTNL's overall operations and financial standing, thus having a low immediate impact.
The company has been penalized by a regulatory authority for non-compliance and reporting failures, which is a negative development.
Mahanagar Telephone Nigam Limited (MTNL) has been directed by the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) to pay a financial disincentive of ₹11,00,000 (Rupees Eleven Lakhs only).
This penalty is for failing to submit a Compliance Report and for contravening the provisions of the Standards of Quality of Service of Access (Wireline and Wireless) and Broadband (Wireline and Wireless) Service Regulations, 2024, specifically for the month of April 2025.
The penalty includes ₹10,00,000 for the non-submission of the Performance Monitoring Report (PMR) for Delhi LSA, and ₹1,00,000 for failing to publish service-wise geospatial coverage maps on its website for the Mumbai LSA. TRAI noted that MTNL did not provide satisfactory explanations for these failures.
The order, dated January 23, 2026, was received by MTNL on January 27, 2026. The company is required to pay the fine within twenty-one days of the order's issue, failing which interest will be levied.
