Telecom operators Airtel, Jio and Vi have announced tariff hikes for prepaid plans. While Airtel and Vi have implemented the revised tariffs on plans, Jio’s updated plans will go into effect from December 1, 2021. Jio noted that it continues to provide the lowest tariffs despite the 20 per cent increase in tariffs. There is not much of a difference between the prepaid plans in Airtel and Vi. However, Jio’s plans are relatively cheaper than Airtel and VI, which was also the case before the hike was announced. Airtel and Vi have increased the tariffs by up to 25 per cent and Jio has hiked its prepaid tariffs by 20 per cent. The telecom operators have noted that the tariff hikes are aimed at improving the Averrage Revenue Per User (ARPU) and to strengthen a sustainable telecom industry.
