eSIMCard eSIM Data Plans for India

eSIMCard does not provide a true unlimited high‑speed data plan for India. Every plan that contains “Unlimited” in its name actually lists a fixed data cap—1GB or 2GB—after which the speed is throttled to 500kbps or 2000kbps.

If you need more data, eSIMCard offers high‑capacity fixed plans such as 50GB for 90 days or 100GB for 180 days, all providing unthrottled speeds while the plan is active. Choosing a fixed data plan can be more cost‑effective unless you require continuously high‑speed data with no cap.

eSIMCard does not provide an India eSIM that includes a phone number or SMS capability; the provider only sells data‑only eSIMs for this destination. Travelers who need to communicate can use VoIP applications such as WhatsApp, Telegram, and iMessage over the data connection to make voice calls and send messages without a local phone number or SMS support.

eSIMCard’s listings for India include 24 single‑country data plans and 30 multi‑country plans that cover India. Across these options, prices run from $3.48 to $430.64, data caps vary between 1 GB and 100 GB, and validity can be as short as one day or as long as a full year. Plans are organized into two types: fixed‑data‑amount packages—about 40 of them—where the data volume is set for the entire validity, and daily‑data‑cap packages—roughly 14 of them—where a small data allowance is reset each day. Both types are available within the India coverage set.
