Airtel’s New Prepaid Tariff Plans December 2022

Bharti Airtel, one of the biggest telecom operator companies in India, recently announced that they will increase the prices of its prepaid plans for various plans (like voice plans, unlimited data plans, data add-on plans, etc). Depending on the type of plan, the newly hiked tariff plans for prepaid users could see an increase between 20% and 25%. The new changes in the tariff plans will be applicable from November 26, 2021. By the way, recently VI and Jio also hiked their tariff plans. Check out the VI New Tariff Plans and Jio New Tariff Plans.

The cheapest tariff plan of Airtel, which is priced at Rs.79 presently, is set to be about 25% costlier, and Airtel’s users have to pay Rs.99 for the same plan from 26 November onwards. According to Bharti Airtel, they’ve said that the prepaid tariff plans rates have been increased to provide an appropriate return on their capital.

Revising the tariff rates is the primary step to make sure that the mobile Average Revenue per Unit (ARPU) remains between Rs. 200 to 300 to ensure a financially stable business model. Presently, Airtel has the highest ARPU (Average Revenue per Unit) among all the telecom operators in India. It recorded an ARPU of Rs. 153 in the 2nd quarter of the financial year 2022. While Reliance Jio and Vi (Vodafone-Idea) recorded the ARPUs of Rs. 143.6 and Rs. 109 respectively.
