State-run Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL) has also launched new plans that will provide 2GB data per day for Rs. 339 per month.

Idea has recently announced its merger plans with Vodafone and they have reached an agreement to combine their operations in India (excluding Vodafone's 42% stake in Indus Towers).

The combined company would become the leading communications provider in India with almost 400 million customers, 35 percent customer market share and 41 percent revenue market share. Post the amalgamation, Vodafone will hold 45 percent in the combined entity while Idea promoters will hold 26 percent share. The rest will be held by the public.

Vodafone will own 45.1 percent of the combined company after transferring a stake of 4.9 percent to the Aditya Birla Group and The Aditya Birla Group will then own 26.0 percent and has the right to acquire more shares from Vodafone under an agreed mechanism with a view to equalizing the shareholdings over time.
