The Telecom industry in India recently witnessed a price hike in the prepaid plans offered by the three private players of the market. Bharti Airtel and Vodafone Idea (Vi) were the first to initiate the tariff hike, and Reliance Jio followed suit soon enough. The surge in tariff of these plans was around 20% which meant that users who used to purchase affordable packs under Rs 250 couldn’t do so anymore. The revised tariffs of the prepaid plans provided by the telcos now offer quite different plans under Rs 250.
