Indian telecom operator Bharti Airtel has increased its mobile service rates following the footsteps of Reliance Jio. Airtel mobile service rates are significantly higher than Reliance Jio, the # telecom operator in India.
Reliance Jio announced the upward revision in rates on 27 June. The new rate of Jio will be effective from 3 July.
Bharti Airtel has maintained that the mobile average revenue per user (ARPU) needs to be upwards of INR 300, to ensure a strong model in India. “We believe that this level of ARPU will enable the substantial investments required in network technology and spectrum and offer a modest return on capital,” Airtel said.
