Airtel regaining entry-level subscribers as tariff hike shock subsides

Bharti Airtel, which lost 1.13 million users in November, is expected to stop the continuing loss of entry-level subscribers soon as the initial shock of the tariff hike abates, according to analysts.

The analysts, however, said it would be difficult for Vodafone Idea (Vi), whose overall subscriber base fell by 1.5 million in November, to put an end to its subscriber loss, describing it as a “key concern”.
