Summary:
BSNL has revised its Rs 107 prepaid plan by reducing its validity from 35 to 28 days, effectively increasing the average daily cost. While the core benefits remain unchanged—3GB of data and 200 voice minutes—the shorter validity makes the plan slightly more expensive for users. This update comes amid BSNL’s growing focus on expanding its 4G and upcoming 5G services across India.
BSNL’s Rs 107 prepaid recharge plan now offers reduced validity, making it a bit costlier for subscribers on a daily basis. The revised plan continues to include 3GB of high-speed data, 200 minutes of free voice calls, and reduced speed of 40 Kbps post-data usage. However, the plan’s validity has been cut from 35 days to 28 days, increasing the effective daily cost from ₹3.05 to ₹3.82.
Updated Benefits of BSNL Rs 107 Plan (June 2025)
- Data: 3GB total, with speed reduced to 40 Kbps after usage
- Voice Calling: 200 minutes to all networks
- Validity: Now 28 days (earlier 35 days)
- Effective Daily Cost: ₹3.82 (previously ₹3.05)
Despite the reduced validity, it remains one of the most affordable prepaid plans with 28-day validity in India.
BSNL’s Broader Strategy: 4G Expansion and 5G Rollout
BSNL is aggressively expanding its 4G network across India and has recently introduced Q-5G FWA (Fixed Wireless Access) under its AirFiber brand to compete with Airtel Xstream AirFiber and Jio AirFiber.
The telco is also planning a 5G launch in major Indian cities such as Delhi by September 2025, with the aim to enhance digital connectivity. In parallel, BSNL is seeking approval from the Union Cabinet led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi to deploy an additional 1 lakh 4G sites, building on its current milestone of nearing 1 lakh deployments already.
BSNL’s Financial Turnaround
BSNL has reported consecutive profitable quarters, a significant positive sign for the state-run telecom operator as it gears up for its 5G future and broader rural connectivity mission.
Why It Matters
The reduction in plan validity may seem minor, but for budget-conscious users, every rupee counts. This move reflects BSNL’s need to balance affordability with profitability, especially as it ramps up network infrastructure for both 4G and 5G services. Despite the slight price hike, BSNL’s Rs 107 plan still remains an economical choice for light data and voice users in India.
