BSNL, which once used to offer lowest 3G data tariff in the country has been hiking its data packs by reducing validity of existing data packs and introducing new data pack at higher denomination. With the introduction of Rs 239 1.2GB monthly data pack, BSNL is trying to match its 3G offering with incumbent operators, who offer 1GB 3G/4G for Rs 250.
