Airtel has also increased user benefits with the base plans. For voice plans, Airtel will charge Rs 99 against Rs 79 at present with benefits such as 50% more talktime worth Rs 99, 1p/second voice tariff, and 200MB data. The validity period remains 28 days for the plan.

Justifying the proposed tariff increase, the company said in a release to the BSE: “Bharti Airtel has always maintained that the mobile Average Revenue Per User (ARPU) needs to be at Rs 200 and ultimately at Rs 300, so as to provide a reasonable return on capital that allows for a financially healthy business model.”
