State-owned telecom service provider Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL) Kerala has silently revamped its offerings with rationalization of validity, launch of new plans and withdrawal of certain plans. The change has happened yesterday and today.
The findings come courtesy of our community forum member Raju Lal. BSNL Kerala listings showing 04th June and 05th June as the date of last update. BSNL has launched one new plan, revised the validity of 6 new plans, and withdrawn 4 existing plans. BSNL Kerala as such hasn’t made any announcements through any circular or tweet, however the April PoS card corroborates Raju’s findings.
Data STV 16 launched
BSNL Kerala has launched Data STV Rs 16 for its customers. STV 16 comes with a validity of 1 day and offers 2 GB high speed data. BSNL Kerala customers can activate it through CTopup or online. The listings on BSNL Kerala website state 04th June as the last date of update.

Withdrawn Plans and STVs
Raju finally notes that BSNL Kerala has also withdrawn Kerala Plan 446, STV 14, STV 39, and STV 125. Kerala Plan 446 which used to offer 75 days validity with 1 GB high speed data per day back in April is no longer listed on BSNL Kerala website.
