News Synopsis

BSNL has introduced a new affordable OTT add-on plan aimed at cricket fans who are tired of managing multiple streaming subscriptions. With this plan, users can access live cricket matches, movies, web series, and entertainment content across JioHotstar, SonyLIV, and Zee5 through a single, budget-friendly subscription.

One OTT Pack for Live Cricket and Entertainment

If you are a cricket enthusiast and frustrated with buying separate OTT subscriptions for every tournament, BSNL has rolled out a cost-effective solution. The government-owned telecom operator Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL) has launched a new OTT add-on plan that bundles JioHotstar, SonyLIV, and Zee5 under a single subscription.

With this plan, users can enjoy live cricket matches at home along with movies, web series, and entertainment content across multiple platforms.

Three Months of OTT Entertainment for Just ₹499

BSNL has priced this new OTT add-on pack at ₹499, with a validity of 90 days (three months). The add-on can be activated on any existing BSNL recharge plan, meaning users do not need to purchase a new SIM or switch plans.

Under this subscription, users can access all available content on JioHotstar, SonyLIV, and Zee5. Streaming can be done on mobile devices and, where supported, on televisions as well.

Enjoy Live Cricket Matches Without Missing a Game

This plan is particularly beneficial for cricket lovers. Subscribers can watch all live matches of the ongoing T20 World Cup and IPL 2026 on JioHotstar, ensuring they never miss a match.

In addition, SonyLIV offers access to other sports events, making the plan ideal for fans of football, tennis, and various international tournaments.

Movies and Web Series Included

The plan is not limited to sports alone. JioHotstar, SonyLIV, and Zee5 collectively host thousands of movies, web series, reality shows, and TV content.

This ensures uninterrupted entertainment even after the cricket season ends, making the pack suitable for the entire family and offering excellent value for money.

Other Affordable BSNL Plans Also in the Spotlight

BSNL has been consistently introducing low-cost, long-validity plans. Recently, the company launched a ₹2,626 annual plan offering 365 days of validity.

This plan includes:

  • Unlimited voice calling

  • Free national roaming

  • 2.26GB high-speed data per day

  • 100 free SMS per day

It is ideal for users who want to avoid frequent recharges.

BSNL Network Upgrade and 4G Expansion

BSNL is also actively strengthening its network infrastructure. In the latest Union Budget, the government allocated substantial funds for network upgrades to improve speed and coverage.

In November last year, BSNL began rolling out 4G services across India. Around one lakh new 4G and 5G towers have already been installed, with more planned in the coming months. Notably, BSNL’s network expansion is based on indigenous technology.

Why This BSNL Plan Stands Out

At ₹499 for three major OTT platforms with live cricket streaming, this BSNL add-on plan offers exceptional value in today’s market. For users seeking maximum entertainment at a minimal cost, especially during the cricket season, this plan is a highly attractive option and a welcome offering for sports fans.
