Cost of operating the towers

In fact, thousands of towers are constantly working to keep the mobile network running. Electricity and diesel are the major contributors to keep these towers running. According to the report, about 40 percent of the total operating cost of any mobile tower is spent on electricity and fuel alone. In such a situation when the price of petrol and diesel increases, the cost of operating the towers also increases very rapidly. (Photo Courtesy – Pinterest)

An additional cost of hundreds of crores of rupees for diesel alone

One of the biggest challenges faced by the telecom companies is that they have to keep the networks spread across the country running smoothly. Especially in rural and remote areas, many towers still rely on diesel generators today. In such a situation, the increase in fuel prices will have a direct impact on the pockets of the companies. Reports claim that major telecom companies may incur hundreds of crores of rupees in additional expenses every year on diesel alone.

Expansion of 5G network

Also, another reason behind this situation becoming more serious is the rapid expansion of 5G network in the country. 5G towers erected across the country consume more electricity than older networks. These towers require constant high power support. This means that the operating costs of the companies are likely to increase further in the coming period.

Tariff hike plan

In addition, the ongoing problems in the global supply chain will add to the difficulties in the telecom sector. The cost of network equipment, batteries and other necessary hardware has already increased. Companies have been planning to increase tariff prices for a long time. Now it is believed that the companies may take this decision soon. If the companies increase the recharge plan prices, users will have to spend more money for calling and data plans. That is, after the increase in petrol-diesel prices, now it is likely to affect the price of recharge plans as well.
