BSNL is actively competing with commercial telecom firms such as Jio, Airtel, and Vodafone Idea by offering affordable recharge rates.
Recharge plans with extended validity periods are available from BSNL, which gives greater value than most private company plans.
As an illustration, consider BSNL’s recharge plans, which provide 150 days of service at a cost comparable to 28-day plans offered by private businesses.

The company’s emphasis on pricing and customer happiness is seen in the BSNL Rs 397 recharge package.
With features like unlimited calls, data, and SMS, the Rs 397 prepaid package is available for 150 days.
Users that use BSNL as a secondary SIM benefit most from this plan.
For the first 30 days, the package provides unlimited calling to any Indian mobile network. For the first month, users are given 2GB of data per day; after that, the speed is reduced to 40 kbps. For the first 30 days, the package also offers 100 free SMS texts every day.
Recently, BSNL unveiled a new motto and logo, the company’s first significant rebranding initiative in 24 years.
As part of its expansion initiatives, the business has introduced seven new services.
By June of the following year, BSNL intends to introduce 5G services after launching commercial 4G services across the country.
With over 35,000 mobile towers already in place, BSNL plans to add 100,000 more to fortify its mobile network infrastructure.
With 2.5 million new customers, BSNL was the only telecom company to announce a subscriber growth in August.
Jio lost four million customers at that time, Airtel lost two and a half million, and Vodafone Idea lost one and a half million.
BSNL Successfully Tests Made In India 5G Tech: Launch In Early 2025!
Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL) has achieved a major breakthrough by successfully testing its indigenous 5G technology on the 3.6 GHz and 700 MHz bands. This milestone highlights India’s push towards self-reliance in telecommunications as BSNL prepares for a 5G launch by early 2025. Here’s how BSNL’s efforts are reshaping the telecom landscape in India.
Indigenous 5G Trials in Key Spectrum Bands
Union Telecom Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia announced that BSNL has conducted successful trials of 5G radio access networks (RAN) and core infrastructure in both the 3.6 GHz and 700 MHz bands. This testing underscores BSNL’s commitment to pioneering homegrown 5G technology. Notably, BSNL’s access to the premium 700 MHz band—a frequency known for its extensive coverage—is an advantage only shared with Reliance Jio, given its high costs that deterred other operators.
