5G subscriber up 20-25%, yet tariff upside may be minimal: Report

India’s 5G subscriber count is seen rising several notches to 20-25 per cent of the overall base in one year, but though telcos are in a “better position” to execute tariff increase, actual visibility on a “meaningful” increase remains uncertain, Ind-Ra said.

According to India Ratings and Research (Ind-Ra), this is because globally too 5G has not yielded any major tariff premium over 4G rates.

The use cases of 5G in India are still limited to applications such as video streaming and multi-person video calls.
