[Nandan Jha]

BSNL, the state-owned telecom operator has offered a new long term data plan under its 3G speed. As per the offer, the BSNL subscribers can get 80GB of 3G data for a lump sum payment of ₹4,498. As per the report shared by RTN Asia, BSNL has launched this data pack very competitively.

Undoubtedly, this 80GB of 3G data at ₹4,498 is meant for loyal customers of BSNL across India. According to this long-term plan, the data cost would come down to ₹56 per GB with 365 days validity. This high-end data plan looks similar to data plans offered by the leading telecom operators like Bharti Airtel, Vodafone India, and Idea Cellular. However, one can observe that these private telecom companies are offering at 30% more than BSNL’s data plan.

Advantage BSNL:

Bharti Airtel’s long-term data plan would cost ₹5,770 for 80GB which is 30% more than BSNL’s plan. Similarly, Idea’s long term data scheme would cost ₹5,500 for 80GB with year validity. The only difference is these private operators offer 4G data if the 4G network is feasible in that area. While the state-run telecom company BSNL is offering the only 3G across all the telecom circles in India.

As per the report, the company has also launched three other data packs with 1-year validity. The BSNL subscribers can enjoy 60GB for ₹4.000, 36GB for ₹2,800 and 18GB for ₹1,500. These plans are offered on 3G data speeds with one year validity period. With its aggressive pricing strategy, BSNL is ready to take on 4G telecom operators including Reliance Jio.

India’s oldest communication service provider has initiated and urged the customers to take a pledge to drive responsibly. Nearly 1.3 million people globally die in road accidents every year while in India this figure is 0.15 million.
