In the Indian telecom industry, the entry of Reliance Jio is a great momentum behind the new-age price war.

BSNL has recently launched a special promotional offer, called the “BSNL Chaukka-444”, where it offers unlimited data including 4GB 3G data per day for 90 days on a recharge of just Rs 444. On the other side, Vodafone also announced the launch of its “Ramzan 786 Plan” that gives unlimited voice calling (local & STD), unlimited national roaming, and 25 GB 3G/4G data.
