Bharti Airtel’s boss, Sunil Mittal, recently said in an interview that his company will raise the prices of its calling and data plans.
He mentioned that this is necessary for the company to stay competitive. Now, Airtel has started raising the prices of its prepaid plans.
Airtel has increased the prices of two of its prepaid plans, the Rs 118 and Rs 289 plans, which are both for using 4G internet.
The Rs 118 plan now costs Rs 129, while the Rs 289 plan now costs Rs 329. These new prices are updated on Airtel’s app and website. Let’s see what benefits users get with these plans.
For the Rs 129 plan, users get 12GB of internet data, which they can use anytime during their plan’s validity period.
The validity of this data is the same as the plan’s validity. Users don’t get any other benefits with this plan.
For the Rs 329 plan, users get 35 days of validity, unlimited voice calls, 4GB data, and 300 SMS.
They also get Airtel Thanks benefits without any extra charge. This includes Apollo 24|7 circle subscription, free HelloTunes, and Wynk Music.
In the past, when one telecom company raised its prices, others followed suit.
So, it’s possible that after Airtel, Jio and Vodafone-Idea might also raise the prices of some of their prepaid plans.
