BSNL 25 Years and Silver Jubilee FTTH Plan.
To celebrate the 25 th anniversary, Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL), the state-owned telecommunications giant in India has introduced a groundbreaking product to its broadband customers the Silver Jubilee Fiber-to-the-Home (FTTH) Plan. At an attractive price of 625 per month, this is not only an upgrade of the service but a strategic enhancement of the role of BSNL in closing the digital divide gap between the urban and rural India.

The Silver Jubilee FTTH Plan includes a high monthly data allowance of 2,500 gigabytes (GB), which is sufficient to remove the issue of data caps on the majority of households. The book is comfortable when it comes to supporting the needs of many users who stream 4K content, work at home, take online classes, or play games regardless of the load and without compromises in performance.

Subscribers can access marquee networks like HBO, History TV18, Discovery+ and premium sport broadcasters without the need to pay extra monthly fees.

The relationship between BSNL and key players in the OTT category does not only increase stickiness but it also makes it a single entertainment destination.
Alteration of Strategy and National Intervention
Silver Jubilee FTTH Plan is a timely move in the digital journey of India. With the government actively pursuing other projects such as Digital India and BharatNet, BSNL and its low-cost, high-capacity package has two functions: to spur widespread broadband adoption and provide greater relevance to the population sector within an ever more privatized telecommunications infrastructure. The consumer fatigue in billing shock and contract lock-in is also dealt with by the plan through the consideration of minimal hidden costs and transparent pricing.
Moreover, the introduction highlights the technical maturity of BSNL its fiber network has extended to more than 2.2 million route kilometers with more than 4 million active FTTH links across the country. The plan 625 is already present in 23 telecom circles and expansion is planned in phases until Q1 2026.
