The firm's market share has dipped from 15.66 per cent as on March 31, 2010 to 11.70 as on May 31, 2014.
Prasad said BSNL slipped because of "inadequate investment in infrastructure expansion in recent years leading to delay in expansion of mobile network" and the company was also made to pay "market rate (of Rs 18,500.38 crore) for both 3G and broadband wireless access (BWA) spectrum".
High employee cost and poor perception of quality of service provided by BSNL too impacted profitability, he said.
"BSNL is expanding its mobile network across the country through installation of 15 million lines at a cost of Rs 4,804 crore," he said, adding augmentation of network elements and expansion of broadband network has been planned to cater to the traffic growth.
High employee cost and poor perception of quality of service provided by BSNL too impacted profitability, he said.
Government has taken different measures such as waiver of Rs 1,411 crore government loan to BSNL and return of Rs 6,724.51 crore for surrendering the BWA spectrum, he said.
Besides, infrastructure is being upgraded. BSNL is migrating from Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) to Next Generation Network (NGN) to provide enhanced value added services like personalised ring back tone, broadband, multi media video conferencing, Voice over Internet Protocol (VOIP) services and fixed-mobile service convergence.

On allegations that BSNL employees were conniving with private operators to sabotage the company, he said he is personally monitoring performance of BSNL and will take action if specific instances are brought to his notice.
