Bharti Airtel’s postpaid refresh may drive 2% uplift in blended mobile ARPU: Analysts

NEW DELHI: Bharti Airtel’s recent decision to bundle free international roaming (IR) with its new postpaid plans will accelerate migration of prepaid users, according to analysts.

Airtel’s refreshed postpaid portfolio, which is costlier by ₹50 at the entry level and across key plans, represents a 3-11% tariff hike, they said, adding that a full absorption across the telco’s postpaid base may drive a nearly 2% uplift in its blended mobile average revenue per user (ARPU).
