For ₹144, customers are offered free voice calls, free national roaming, 2 GB data per day, and, 100 free SMS per day. The validity of this ₹144 prepaid plan is 30 days, which means customers get a total of 60 GB of data with this plan.

Having said that, it’s worth noting that the Swadeshi Sim Card is not available for everyone. It’s only available for Patanjali employees as well as members of Patanjali organisations like Bharat Swabhiman Nyas, Patanjali Yog Samiti, Mahila Prakoshta, Yuva Bharat, and, Patanjali Kisan Seva.
However, the Swadeshi SIM Card is also available to those who own Patanjali’s Swadeshi Samriddhi Card. Hence, if you are not a Patanjali employee or a member of any of the aforementioned Patanjali organisations, you can get yourself a Swadeshi Samriddhi Card to buy the Swadeshi SIM Card.
It’s worth noting that Patanjali’s Swadeshi Samriddhi Card offers accident insurance cover worth ₹2.5 Lakhs and life insurance cover worth ₹5 Lakhs to the card holders. Moreover, holders of Patanjali’s Swadeshi Samriddhi Card also get cashback of 5 to 10% on purchase of Patanjali products.
