MTNL fined ₹8 Lakhs by TRAI for Quality of Service violations in June 2025
MTNL has been fined ₹8 Lakhs by TRAI for violating Quality of Service standards for wireless access service in June 2025. The penalty is due to failures in call set-up success rates and geospatial coverage map availability. MTNL must pay within 21 days.
The financial penalty of ₹8 Lakhs is a relatively small amount for MTNL and the company has stated that there is no material impact on its financial, operational, or other activities.
The company has been imposed a financial penalty by a regulatory authority for non-compliance with service quality standards.
Mahanagar Telephone Nigam Limited (MTNL) has been ordered by the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) to pay a financial disincentive of ₹8,00,000 (Rupees Eight Lakhs only).
This penalty is 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 Access Service (Wireless) during the month of June 2025. The order, dated February 3, 2026, was received by MTNL on February 4, 2026.
TRAI's analysis indicated that MTNL failed to meet service quality benchmarks in several areas, including Call Set-up Success Rate (Intra-Service provider and Inter-Service provider) and the availability of service-wise geospatial coverage maps. The total financial disincentive imposed amounts to ₹8,00,000. TRAI noted that while there was a mismatch in reported data for cumulative downtime, the company's corrective actions led to no further action on that specific issue.
The company is directed to pay the fine within twenty-one days of the order's issue date. TRAI stated that there is no material impact on the financial, operational, or other activities of MTNL due to this penalty.
