Airtel Discontinues Rs 299 Prepaid Plan, Rivals May Follow
Airtel has discontinued its Rs 299 prepaid plan, NDTV Profit reports. The move could prompt changes across the industry as telecom companies review their prepaid portfolios.
The Story in Brief
Airtel has discontinued its Rs 299 prepaid plan, NDTV Profit reports. The move could prompt changes across the industry as telecom companies review their prepaid portfolios.
Centrum’s Pandey said Vodafone Idea and Reliance Jio may adopt similar changes as they seek to raise average revenue per user. The report does not specify whether either company plans to withdraw a particular plan or announce a tariff increase. For customers, the immediate issue is whether Airtel replaces the plan with a costlier option or a package offering different validity and benefits.
The Indian Opinion
Claims that one plan withdrawal signals an industry-wide tariff shock would run ahead of the evidence. Equally, treating the change as harmless ignores how prepaid users compare every rupee, validity period and data allowance. The useful test is simple: whether Vodafone Idea and Jio make matching changes, and whether Airtel’s replacement costs more for comparable benefits.
