State-owned telecom provider BSNL has introduced a new OTT add-on pack that combines access to multiple popular streaming platforms into a single bundle. Priced at ₹499 with 90-day validity, this works out to roughly ₹167 per month for subscribers. It lets users enjoy content on JioHotstar, SonyLIV and Zee5 — covering sports, films, series and more under one plan.
How It Works
This OTT plan is offered as an add-on pack, meaning users with an active BSNL mobile connection can purchase it alongside their existing plan. Once activated, subscribers gain OTT access without needing separate individual subscriptions to the included platforms. The bundle is especially positioned to appeal ahead of big cricket events like the ongoing T20 World Cup and IPL 2026, where fans can stream matches on JioHotstar.
Content and Viewing Experience
With this BSNL add-on:
- Live sports streaming is available through JioHotstar, covering major cricket tournaments and other events.
- Entertainment and originals are available via SonyLIV, including shows and films.
- Broad content catalogues including movies, series and regional content are available through Zee5.
The plan enables simultaneous streaming across devices, so households can use different screens for live matches or entertainment without requiring separate OTT subscriptions.
Why BSNL Is Offering This
Telecom operators in India have increasingly bundled OTT services as part of their plans to add value and retain customers. BSNL’s new offering aligns with this trend, providing cost savings for users who otherwise might pay much more for standalone OTT subscriptions. It also enhances BSNL’s service appeal by integrating entertainment content with its mobile offerings.
Pricing and Value Proposition
Instead of subscribing separately to three major OTT platforms — which can be expensive — BSNL’s content bundle gives broad access at an effective monthly cost of about ₹167. For subscribers who regularly watch sports, series and films, this can represent significant savings while consolidating multiple services into one plan.
How to Activate
Users interested in this OTT add-on can activate it through BSNL’s official digital channels, such as the BSNL website or app, by selecting the ₹499 OTT pack. Once activated, access to the included streaming platforms begins immediately through the linked mobile number.
