In order to increase its average revenue per user, Airtel has finally increased the prices of its prepaid plans in the country. Airtel becomes the first telecom operator, which raises tariffs and that will be into effect from November 26, 2021.
“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,” said the telco in an early morning statement on Monday.
