Bharti Airtel, a leading Indian telecom operator, has hiked the price of two of its prepaid plans. This move from the telco is to boost its average revenue per user (ARPU) and get a better return on investments overall. Airtel has silently moved the prices up of the Rs 118 and Rs 289 plans. The Rs 118 plan, which is a 4G data voucher, now costs Rs 129 and the Rs 289 plan costs Rs 329. The changes are reflected on the Airtel website as well as the mobile app. Let's take a look at these plans with their updated prices.
