Airtel prepaid plans to get expensive soon, check annual offers you can opt to avoid tariff hike

Airtel users can opt for 84 days validity plan or annual prepaid plans before the tariff hike takes place on November 26. Airtel will increase tariffs by up to Rs 500 on annual plans.

Airtel has taken the first step towards the potential tariff hikes that the telco noted it would be rolling out. The telco announced tariff hikes announced that will go into effect from Friday, November 26. The telco noted that it is increasing the tariffs of its prepaid plans to improve its Average Revenue Per User (ARPU.) Vodafone Idea and Jio are expected to follow suit and increase tariffs for their plans as well. The last major tariff hikes took place in December 2019. The change will get heavy on users’ pockets but since Airtel customers have some buffer time to get adapted to the change, they can still consider the existing annual plans, which are relatively cheaper.
