Jio Vs Airtel Vs Vodafone Idea: Who’s got cheapest data plan for you

The narrative of India boasting some of the cheapest mobile data plans in the world seems to be fading. While still relatively affordable compared to some countries, we are seeing a significant data price hike in the telecom industry. This could be due to various reasons like the intense competition between Jio, Airtel, and Vi. This telco war drove data prices down to record lows in past years. However, it seems that these low prices haven’t translated into high profits for the telecom operators. The shift in recent data prices can also be attributed to the heavy infrastructure investments required to maintain and expand the networks which may not be covered by their revenue.
