In an interesting turn of events, Airtel has announced a new prepaid plan of Rs 395. This is interesting because the same tariff is also offered by Reliance Jio. However, Airtel has kept its Rs 395 plan more premium than the plan of Jio. The new Rs 395 plan from Airtel carries a service validity of 56 days, while Jio's plan comes with 84 days validity. The plan has been silently added by Airtel and might signal towards the future of tariffs, where Jio may also bring the service validity of its similar plan down or increase its price as overall tariffs move up. Let's take a look at the details of the Rs 395 plan from Airtel.
