Today, BSNL's prime interest is to see that its consumers are happy and to win their confidence.

"We don't see any need for tariff hikes in the near future," he said.

BSNL's stance assumes significance as private telecom operators in India, including Reliance Jio, Bharti Airtel and Vodafone Idea, raised tariffs earlier this year.
