eSIMCard eSIM Data Plans for India

eSIMCard does not provide a truly unlimited data eSIM for India. Every plan that includes “Unlimited” in its name actually contains a fixed allowance, such as 1 GB per day or 2 GB per day, and once that limit is reached, the speed is throttled (512 kbps or 2000 kbps depending on the plan).

For travelers who need more data, fixed‑amount plans are available. For example, the 100GB eSIM Data For 30Days in Asia and the 100GB eSIM Data For 180Days in Asia give 100 GB of high‑speed data for 30 or 180 days, respectively, without any speed reduction. These fixed plans can be more cost‑effective for heavy data use compared with the capped “Unlimited” options.

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 lists a total of 128 data‑cap plans for travelers visiting India, divided into 31 single‑country plans that apply only to India and 97 multi‑country plans that include India as part of a broader coverage area. The plans cover a wide price range from about $2.88 up to $395.07 and provide data caps between 1 GB and 100 GB, with validity periods varying from 1 to 180 days. Among the options, some plans feature a fixed data amount while others operate on a daily data cap, allowing flexibility for different usage patterns.
