Calculation of potential loss
Telephone Revenue
(2000-01)		 Rs 6820 crore
Total DELs
(as on 30-9-2000)		 279.59 lakh
Revenue per DELs Rs 6820 crore / 279.59 lakh = Rs 2439

Spare capacity was 676035 lines or say 6.76 lakh

Loss of potential revenue per annum due to spare capacity
Rs 2439 x 6.76 lakh = 1648849365
Say Rs 164.88 crore
