Amidst the increasingly expensive recharge plans of private telecom companies, government company BSNL has made a big splash on Independence Day. To attract new users to its fold, the company has introduced an exciting offer of just Rs 1. Along with this, many attractive announcements have also been made for broadband customers, rural users and those who like annual plans.
Actually, the aim of BSNL is to provide digital connectivity to every corner of the country at very affordable rates. This new offering of the company will directly benefit those crores of mobile users who are looking for the best network and data connectivity at low cost.
The magic of 'Freedom 2.0' offer for just ₹1
The company has launched a special 'Freedom 2.0' offer to attract new customers. Under this plan, users are being given full 24 days validity at a token amount of just Re 1.
In this offer, users will get 1GB high-speed data every day, 100 SMS daily and unlimited voice calling facility on any network. The company believes that this step will prove to be a game-changer for those customers who want to connect to the BSNL network for the first time.
Cheap plans for fiber and rural customers
BSNL has opened a box of discounts not only for mobile but also for fiber broadband customers. The monthly plan of Rs 1,199 has been reduced to Rs 1,111 under the Independence Day offer. In this plan, you will get 5,000 GB data every month with the blazing speed of 200 Mbps. Not only this, it also includes subscription to more than 25 premium OTT platforms.
For rural areas, BSNL has introduced an entry plan of Rs 259, in which 700 GB data and unlimited calling is being provided with 25 Mbps speed. After the data quota is exhausted, the internet will continue to run at the speed of 2 Mbps. Also, the add-on pack of Prasar Bharati WAVES has been made available for just Rs 30.
47 days bonus and free TV on annual recharge
For customers who want to avoid the hassle of frequent recharge, an extra validity of 47 days has been announced on the annual plan of Rs 2,399. That means now this plan will run for full 412 days. Apart from this, the facility of 'Free Entertainment TV' is also being provided to the customers through BSNL's Selfcare App, in which live TV channels and on-demand content can be enjoyed.
54 new 4G towers will be installed in remote villages of Bihar
BSNL is now also working rapidly on strengthening the network infrastructure. Under the 'Digital India Fund' project, 54 new 4G mobile towers will be installed in such remote areas of Bihar, where currently the network of any private company does not reach.
The target has been set to make all these towers completely on-air by May 2027. Apart from this, 4G capacity of 34 existing sites in the state is also being upgraded.
Picture of villages getting enhanced by Bharatnet
Modern MPLS routers are being installed in gram panchayats under the revised BharatNet project to connect rural areas with high-speed broadband. So far 162 routers have been installed and a total of 200 routers are in the works. For this, the company has also entered into a strategic partnership with Polycab.
It is clear that the government telecom company is now not only preparing to make a comeback in the market on the basis of cheap plans, but is also implementing the dream of Digital India and self-reliant India on the ground by improving the network.
