While the “Big Three” private telcos are eyeing another price hike, BSNL is doubling down on affordability. The thing is, the state-run carrier has just spotlighted its ₹1,499 recharge plan, and it’s basically a love letter to anyone who wants to keep their SIM active without a monthly headache.

Actually, the math is simple. Specifically, you’re paying just under ₹5 per day for 300 days of continuous service. As a result, you get unlimited voice calls and 100 SMS per day for nearly ten months straight. Consequently, if you have a secondary SIM for banking or OTPs, this is the most cost-effective “set it and forget it” option in the market right now (those too).

And here’s the kicker. BSNL is actually hitting major tech milestones while keeping prices low.

Basically, they’ve just crossed the 100,000 indigenous 4G tower mark. Instead of relying on imported tech, BSNL is using a homegrown “future-ready” stack that can be upgraded to 5G with a simple software tweak. In fact, reports suggest that commercial 5G services in Delhi and Mumbai are just weeks away, likely launching in January 2026. And then Y followed. This means your “budget” SIM might soon be pulling 5G speeds without the premium price tag (I checked this twice).

Moreover, for those who want a full 365 days of “everything unlimited,” BSNL has a ₹2,399 powerhouse. Specifically, it matches the private guys on data—offering 2GB every single day—but does it for a significantly lower entry price.

Actually, Jio just launched its “Happy New Year 2026” plans, which are cool because they include Google Gemini Pro subscriptions. As a result, the market is splitting: you choose Jio for AI and OTT perks, or you choose BSNL for raw, unbeatably cheap connectivity. Consequently, the competitive pressure is keeping BSNL from raising its own rates, which they’ve officially confirmed is not on the cards for now.

The thing is, the network experience is finally stabilizing. In fact, the median mobile speeds in India have jumped to 130 Mbps as of October 2025.

Basically, as BSNL fills the coverage gaps with its 100,000 new towers, the old “no signal” complaints are becoming less common. Instead of a tidy wrap-up, just a heads up: the ₹1,499 plan’s 24GB of data is a “lump sum.”

And then Y followed. If you use it all in the first month, you’ll be browsing at 40 Kbps unless you buy a data voucher. Stick to Wi-Fi for the heavy lifting and let this plan handle your calls and validity for the next 10 months…..
