Jio-Airtel Tariff Hike: Jio and Airtel can give a big blow to telecom users. Both the companies may make their recharge plans expensive in the coming days. A big price hike in the telecom industry was seen in December 2021. It is expected that Jio and Airtel can make their plans costlier by 15 to 17 percent in the next few months.
When was the last tariff hike in the telecom industry? Perhaps you might call increasing the minimum recharge plan of Airtel from Rs 99 to Rs 155 a price hike, but it is not so. Telecom companies have not made any major changes in their overall portfolio in the last few years.
Even after the launch of 5G service, we have not seen a hike in the tariff price, which may happen soon. Market analysts believe so. Antique Stock Broking estimates that after the Lok Sabha elections, a price hike of 15 to 17 percent may be seen. This price hike will be seen in the plans of Bharti Airtel.
There was a big hike in the year 2021
According to PTI report, the last price hike of 20 percent was seen, which happened in December 2021. It is estimated that Bharti Airtel is trying to improve its ARPU. The company can increase its average revenue per user from Rs 208 to Rs 286 by financial year 2027.
This speculation has been made for many reasons. This includes reasons like tariff hikes, transition of customers from 2G to 4G and switching to expensive data plans. However, at present no official information has been given by the telecom companies in this matter.
Telecom companies did not respond
India Today Tech has contacted Jio and Airtel regarding this. However, till the time of writing this news, the telecom companies have not given any information. Antique Stock Broking estimates that there will be an increase in the number of subscribers of Airtel.
The company’s subscribers will be double the market average. Jio and Airtel have started rolling out 5G networks in many cities. Both the telecom companies have not made any major changes in their recharge portfolio since the 5G rollout, which has been expected for a long time.
Because of this, market analysts are speculating that we may soon see a price hike. Jio, Airtel and other telecom companies can introduce separate recharge plans for high speed data. At the same time, 4G data can be given to users in low price recharge plans. However, no concrete information has been revealed yet on all these topics.
