BSNL, the incumbent telecom service provider that once stood in the shadow of its private sector rivals, is making a strong comeback in the Indian telecom market. Jio, Airtel and Vi (Vodafone Idea) have increased their tariff prices, drawing renewed attention to the state-owned telecom giant. This has resulted in more users availing BSNL’s affordable services. The company is continuously introducing new and affordable recharge plans which have resulted in a significant change in customer preferences.
Revival of BSNL in telecom sector
For years, BSNL’s customer base was shrinking rapidly, but recent developments have revived demand for the network. BSNL’s customer base has grown significantly due to tariff hikes by private operators.
For example, in Andhra Pradesh, over 217 million users switched to BSNL in July 2024, taking the total number of customers in the state to over 40 million.
BSNL’s Strategic Move: Affordable High Speed Internet
Apart from focusing on low-cost recharge plans, BSNL is also working on providing high-speed 4G and 5G network services. The company has already deployed 4G networks in 15,000 locations across the country and plans to launch 4G services in Andhra Pradesh on August 15. Particle for direct object

This broadband plan offers fiber users 3300GB of data at a fraction of the cost compared to competitors.
This price cut is part of BSNL’s strategy to attract more customers by offering affordable high-speed internet options. The Rs 399 plan not only offers ample data but also means users don’t have to worry about running out of bandwidth, making it an ideal choice for heavy internet users.
