Airtel and Jio, two of India’s largest telecom providers, have recently stopped offering their entry-level budget plans. This change is expected to boost their revenue per user, which simultaneously translates to higher prices for customers. Following this trend, Vi has also adapted its plan offerings.
Airtel’s old ₹249 plan provided 1 GB of daily data for 28 days. Jio’s corresponding plan included 1 GB of daily data, unlimited calls, and access to Jio Cinema.
Airtel now offers a ₹299 plan as its new baseline, featuring 1 GB of daily data, unlimited calls, valid for 28 days. It includes a free Perplexity AI subscription worth ₹17,000, and spam call protection.
