In October, a report by Goldman Sachs said that Bharti Airtel may slash mobile data tariff in India by 25% in the next fiscal year, due to the launch of Reliance Jio’s 4G services. According to the report, Airtel will be able to offset the deficit through higher demand for data. It was also reported that Reliance Jio would be launch 4G-enabled handsets priced between Rs. 5,000 and Rs. 25,000 in India. These handsets would be introduced ahead of the launch of its 4G services in the country.
