New Delhi, June 28, 2024 – Bharti Airtel, one of India’s leading telecommunications companies, has announced a revision in its mobile tariff plans effective from July 3, 2024. The move is aimed at achieving a sustainable Average Revenue per User (ARPU) of over INR 300, which Airtel deems essential for a financially viable business model that supports substantial investments in network technology and spectrum.
In a statement, Airtel emphasized that achieving the targeted ARPU will allow the company to continue providing high-quality services while enabling modest returns on capital. This tariff revision aligns with the industry’s broader strategy to repair and rationalize tariffs, ensuring that the telecommunications sector remains robust and capable of meeting growing demand for data and connectivity.
