India travel eSIM data plans: buy online, scan to install, get online after landing.
A India travel eSIM is a prepaid mobile data plan that installs on your phone as a downloadable profile instead of a physical SIM card. You buy it online, receive a QR code by email within 1–2 minutes, scan it before you fly, and switch on data roaming the moment you land — there is no counter to queue at and nothing to ship.
Code eSIM currently lists 38 India plans from network partners including Sparks, 3 and TSimTech. Prices start at $3.20, data allowances run from 1GB to 40GB, and validity ranges from 5 days to a full year. 10 of the 38 plans run on 5G where the network is available; the rest are 4G LTE. Your own number stays active on your primary SIM, so you keep receiving calls and verification codes while the eSIM handles data.

😅 No plans match your filters — try relaxing them?
India plans on Code eSIM come from 5 network partners, the largest being Sparks (18 plans), 3 (6 plans), TSimTech (5 plans), NextLink (5 plans). 10 plans support 5G and 28 run on 4G LTE. Actual speed depends on the local carrier your eSIM attaches to and on coverage where you are standing — a 5G plan falls back to 4G outside 5G areas.
Prices run from $3.20 to $67.20, depending on how much data you buy and how long you need it. The cheapest way in is India 1 GB at $3.20 (1GB, 14 days). The best value per gigabyte is India 30 GB at about $1.05 per GB. Every plan is prepaid with no contract and no auto-renewal, so the price you see is the total you pay.
15 of these plans cover India only, while 23 are multi-country or global plans that include India alongside other destinations. If India is your only stop, a single-country plan is normally cheaper per gigabyte. If you are crossing borders on the same trip, one regional plan saves you from installing and switching between several eSIMs. Both types install exactly the same way, and both leave your primary SIM free to keep your own number.
Pick a India eSIM plan on this page and pay online — the system delivers instantly. The QR code and install guide arrive by email within 1–2 minutes. No shipping, no waiting.
Install by scanning the QR code over Wi-Fi before departure, then turn on data roaming for the eSIM after you arrive in India. Most plans start counting validity when the eSIM first connects to a local network. See the install guide for details.
Most recent models support eSIM: iPhone XS and later, Samsung S20 and later, Google Pixel 3 and later (mainland-China iPhones excepted). Dial *#06# — if an EID appears, your phone supports eSIM.
This page lists all India eSIM plans — filter and sort by data, days and price. Light use (maps + messaging) needs about 500MB/day; heavy use (video + hotspot) 2GB+/day. Match the validity to your trip length.
Hotspot support is shown in each plan's "Hotspot sharing" spec. The eSIM works alongside your physical SIM, so your own number still receives calls and texts — just disable its data roaming to avoid charges.
