Should you port to BSNL?
If you are looking for an affordable alternative for Jio, Airtel or Vodafone Idea, you can opt for BSNL.
However, you must keep in mind the BSNL coverage is restricted to 4G network and it doesn't offer 5G service unlike other telcos. So if you are looking for efficient network coverage, BSNL might not be a right choice.
