What the numbers mean
What India eSIM prices reveal
Ranking eSIMs for India by entry price gets the order wrong. The cheapest plan in India is Yesim 300MB / 1 Day at $0.51. That gap is the story in India in one line: 3.1 times the rate for the smallest bucket. Per-gigabyte pricing is set by Ubigi at $0.57 for 60GB over 365 days. Counting everything, 10 providers list 186 plans for India, of which 98 are unlimited.
The cheapest unlimited plan in India comes from Ubigi at $1.60 a day. Measured against $0.57/GB, the break-even sits near 2.8GB a day. Hotel Wi-Fi in Mumbai does most of the heavy lifting, which keeps metered plans cheap. ID rules apply to prepaid SIMs in India but not to travel eSIMs, which activate without paperwork.
Behind every eSIM for India sit Jio and Airtel, all 5G. Expect between 25 and 300 Mbps in India, with the top of that range only on Jio. Anything that leaves Mumbai is better off on Jio, which holds the widest measured range. Airtel is the softer option, which matters only once you leave the main cities. Thailand is often on the same route, so price a second plan or a regional eSIM to cover both.

Before you buy
Things to know before buying an eSIM for India
-
Indian rules require passport-linked registration even for travel eSIMs - Airalo and Saily handle it in-app in about two minutes.
-
Jio's coverage dwarfs Airtel outside cities; most travel eSIMs ride Airtel - fine for the Golden Triangle, weaker in Ladakh.
An eSIM for India is priced per country, not per city. One plan covers every network inside the borders, so there is no separate tariff for Mumbai, Delhi, Bangalore, Chennai — and no airport counter to queue at either, because the profile is installed at home before you fly.
Networks
Which networks do India eSIMs run on
Every eSIM connects to a local carrier network. Coverage, speed and rural reach follow that host network — so knowing whose mast your plan uses matters more than the brand on the voucher. The destination-by-destination breakdown of all host carriers lives on the eSIM network map.
Airtel
5GPlans from Airalo, aloSIM, Holafly, Jetpac, Nomad, Roami, Roamic, Saily, Ubigi, Yesim connect to this network.
Typical 25–300 Mbps — enough for 4K streaming · video calls · hotspot work
A close second with arguably the best network quality in the metros.
Where it wins: Strong network quality and fast city 5G.
Where it lags: Rural reach trails Jio slightly.

India's largest 5G network — the default pick, fast even in tier-2 cities.

Matched against the 186 plans in the table above. Prefer plans on the carrier with the best coverage where you're going.
Which national networks cover India's major cities
All the carriers above serve these metros with full speed; the differences between them show up outside them — rural roads, mountain areas, islands and deep-indoor spots like basements and metro platforms.
Speeds are typical real-world downloads (4G floor to good 5G); actual speeds depend on device, plan and location. For context: Netflix 4K needs about 25 Mbps, HD about 5.

FAQ
What should I know before buying an eSIM for India
What is the cheapest eSIM for India?
Cheapest plan for India: Yesim's 300MB / 1 Day, $0.51. Price and value are different measurements, and on cost per gigabyte the winner is Ubigi's 60GB / 365 Days at $0.57/GB. Match the plan to your trip length rather than chasing the single lowest number.
Is unlimited eSIM data in India actually unlimited?
Only within limits. The 98 unlimited India plans slow to a published speed after a set allowance each day. Ubigi comes out cheapest per day at $1.60, and the full band here spans $1.60 to $6.83. What Ubigi publishes: Varies by plan - published per plan page; after that, 1 - 2 Mbps.
Airalo or Holafly for India?
Pick by usage pattern, because the two brands do not price the same way at all. Airalo's Indicomm - 20 GB works out at $1.82/GB for $36.50, and what you buy is what you get. Holafly sells unlimited days instead, its smallest India package being 3 days for $19.90 ($6.63/day).
Do I need ID verification for an eSIM in India?
Yes. Indian rules tie registration to a passport even for travel eSIMs, and the providers we track finish that verification in-app in about two minutes. Complete it on home Wi-Fi: the check is quick, but doing it after landing costs you the first hour of the trip.
Which networks do India eSIMs use?
Plans on this page run on Jio, Airtel. Differences matter mostly outside the big cities - the network column in the main table shows which carrier each plan rides.
Can one eSIM cover India and Thailand?
Yes, but only through a multi-country plan, because nothing in our India tables covers a second country. Look for a regional package that includes Thailand and compare its $/GB with two single-country plans.
Can I use an eSIM in India?
186 plans across 10 providers are listed for India on this page, and every one of them is usable. Of the 186 India plans listed here, none is limited to a particular region of the country. Check your handset first, then pick the plan that matches your trip length.
Will my phone work with an eSIM in India?
An eSIM-capable unlocked phone works in India without any extra step. The eSIM chip is fixed at manufacture, so a handset built without one cannot gain it later, however many India plans we list. Run the *#06# test before you buy a plan.
Do I need a local number in India?
Only if local calls matter to you, because the 186 plans listed for India are data products. Where voice exists it is app-based rather than a real local number, which is what most travellers actually need. Keep your home SIM active for calls and codes, and let the eSIM carry data.
What do travellers say about eSIMs in India?
The reviews themselves live on the providers' own sites and app stores. A five-star average and a one-star average usually describe different trips rather than different products. Read the numbers above first, then check the provider's own reviews for the human side.
