BSNL attacks Airtel, Jio with a new plan
State-run Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL) on Tuesday launched a plan that will provide 2GB data per day for Rs 339 per month.
New Delhi/Ghaziabad: State-run Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL) on Tuesday launched a plan that will provide 2GB data per day for Rs 339 per month.
"To compete with Jio and other private players, we have introduced the cheapest plan with a rental value of Rs 339 per month. Under this plan, the consumer will get 2GB per day," said BSNL General Manager Sanjiv Tyagi.
"In a month, the consumer will get 30 GB data and 25 minutes free call per day. After consumption of 25 minutes a levy of 25 paisa per minute will be imposed," he added. The plan will be effective from April 1, 2017. There is no information on how long BSNL plans to run the particular offer.
Even though the offer seems appealing, the calling cap on other operators is much higher than the BSNL’s 25 minutes. However, the Rs 339 plan will cater perfectly to users with low calling and high data usage.
It will be interesting to see how much traction BSNL can gain through the new tariff plan. There have been few complaints about BSNL data connectivity in the past.
