Vi (formerly Vodafone Idea) has followed Airtel’s lead and increased the prices of its prepaid plans in India. Much like Airtel, the prices of Vi prepaid plans have seen an increase of up to 25%. Here’s a look at the new Vi prepaid tariffs.
A number of Vi prepaid plans have seen a price hike and the changes will be effective from November 25. To recall, the Airtel price changes will go live on November 26. The reason behind the price hike is attributed to the urge of maintaining the mobile Average Revenue Per User (ARPU) to get a better return of investment and a financially-stable business model.
Additionally, the data top-up plans priced at Rs 48, Rs 98, Rs 251, and Rs 351 will get a price hike. You can look at the table below for more details.
Since Vi was quick enough to join Airtel in increasing the prices of its prepaid plans, we can expect Jio and other telcos to follow in their footsteps soon. But, there are chances that Jio might not do so to keep an edge over its rivals. We will keep you updated on what happens next.
