I can think of several reasons… The biggest one would be that Indian government still consider internet connectivity as a luxury. Even though they continue to pretend that it is essential by promising connectivity to panchayats etc. around the country. Until that mindset changes and they start treating internet connectivity to be as important as power and water supply it would remain a premium offering from the government operators. Of course, it’s not like the government has managed to manage water and power supplies properly. :
Overheads… Both BSNL and MTNL are badly managed so there is a lot of wastage that needs to be compensated for. Plus since they have the backing from the government, I guess they do not give shit about market share. They get their salaries no matter how many customers they have.
