Airtel price hike: Old versus new prepaid plans compared, your mobile bill to go up by this much from July 3

Bharti Airtel, following in the footsteps of Reliance Jio, is set to increase tariffs on both prepaid and postpaid plans starting July 3. The upcoming price hike, which ranges from 10-21 percent across various plans, is part of Airtel’s strategy to ensure financial health and sustainability. The company emphasises that the average revenue per user (ARPU) needs to exceed Rs 300 to support the substantial investments required in network technology and spectrum, while also offering a modest return on capital.
