If you’re looking for a quick rundown on everything BSNL, you’re in the right spot. From fresh prepaid offers to the latest network upgrades, we’ve pulled together the most useful bits so you don’t have to hunt across different sites.
BSNL, short for Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited, is the government‑run telecom player that still holds a big chunk of the market, especially in rural and semi‑urban areas. While private operators push 5G, BSNL has been busy expanding its 4G footprint and rolling out fiber broadband in smaller towns. That means many of us can finally enjoy faster internet without paying a premium.
BSNL’s latest prepaid plans focus on data‑hungry users. The most popular one is the BSNL 4G Super Saver – 1.5 GB data per day for a month at a price that’s under 300 rupees. If you need more data, there’s a 2 GB‑per‑day plan at around 400 rupees, plus unlimited calling to any BSNL number.
For broadband, BSNL’s FTTB (Fiber to the Building) offers speeds up to 100 Mbps in selected cities, with a flat 799 rupee monthly fee for the first six months. The company also introduced a “Zero‑Installation” offer for new customers in Tier‑2 towns, which saves the typical 500‑rupee setup charge.
Don’t forget the special “Senior Citizen” bundle – a reduced‑rate plan that gives 500 MB data per day and free calls to any landline. It’s a good way for older users to stay connected without breaking the bank.
Coverage has always been BSNL’s strong suit, especially in places where other carriers struggle. In the last year, BSNL added over 1,000 new 4G towers, extending 4G service to more than 15 million extra households. The rollout focuses on states like Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, and Odisha, where rural connectivity matters most.
If you’re wondering whether you’ll get a stable signal, check the BSNL coverage map on their website – it’s updated in real time. Users have reported better voice quality and fewer drops after the recent network optimization, which involved upgrading old 2G/3G sites to support 4G‑only operation.
BSNL also launched a “Mobile App for Self‑Help”. Through the app, you can check balance, recharge, raise complaints, and even track the status of a service request. The app’s rating has risen to 4.3 stars after a big UI overhaul, making it a handy tool for quick fixes.
Lastly, keep an eye on the upcoming “BSNL 5G Pilot” that’s slated for early next year in a few metro areas. While full rollout won’t happen soon, the pilot will test high‑speed lanes and could pave the way for broader 5G coverage down the line.
Bottom line: BSNL is still a solid choice for affordable plans, especially if you live outside major metros. Their new offers give you decent data at low prices, and the network upgrades are closing the gap with private players.

BSNL is rolling out 175 new 4G BTS towers in Darbhanga district, Bihar, to fix coverage issues in regions without network access. Nineteen sites have already received the green light. This move is part of India's drive to offer universal 4G connectivity, especially in rural and remote areas.
