Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL) has announced a new recharge plan for its prepaid mobile users in India. Priced at Rs. 251, it is introduced as a Special Tariff Voucher (STVs) which means it does not come with an active service validity.

BSNL's Rs. 251 Prepaid Recharge Voucher: Benefits

BSNL's new STV, dubbed IPL 251, is priced at Rs. 251 in India and offers up to 251GB of data for a period of 60 days. Under the fair usage policy (FUP), consumers can enjoy unlimited internet till the limit is exhausted, post which the speeds are reduced to 40 Kbps.

It is to be noted that the Rs. 251 STV does not come with its own service validity. Thus, it requires an active base plan to work.

However, BSNL is not the only telecom operator introducing IPL-focussed prepaid recharge plans. Its competitors such as Airtel, Reliance Jio, and Vodafone Idea (Vi) have also introduced packs with data benefits. Jio's Rs. 100 offersa complimentary ad-supported subscription to JioHotstar for a period of 90 days.

Meanwhile, Airtel has also rolled out two new cricket packs with a complimentary subscription to JioHotstar. The Rs. 100 prepaid recharge pack offers 5GB of data with a 30-day validity, along with a 30-day access to JioHotstar. The Rs. 195 plan offers 15GB of data along with a 90-day subscription to the OTT streaming service.

This development comes amidst reports that BSNL has begun testing its 5G infrastructure across Indian cities such as Bhopal, Chandigarh, Chennai, Jaipur, Lucknow, and Patna. The telecom operator plans to introduce its 5G services in the next three months, beginning with Delhi by offering a Network-as-a-Service (NaaS) model.
