In a move that affects millions of customers, Airtel has increased the prices of its various prepaid and postpaid plans. With this new increment, prices have gone up by almost 20%. The revised prices might roll out by next week. Here’s everything that you need to know about the same.
The increased tariffs impact both prepaid and postpaid customers. As well as both for data and calling packs. The company says that this has been done to push the ARPU beyond ₹300 to maintain profitability.

Coming to the postpaid plans now. The ₹399 plan which offered up to 40GB of data and an Xstream Premium subscription, will now cost ₹449. The ₹499 plan, offering 75GB of data and subscriptions to Xstream Premium, Disney+ Hotstar, and Amazon Prime, will increase to ₹549.
As per Airtel, these new plans will come into effect starting July 3. By next week, the website will also be updated with these plans.
