Vodafone Idea has hiked the prices of Family postpaid plans across India. To recall, Vi increased the prices of Family postpaid plans in few circles a couple of months ago, and now, the telco has rolled out the same plans across the country. Prices of two entry-level postpaid plans have been increased from Rs 598 to Rs 649, and from Rs 749 to Rs 799. Earlier, the two plans were live in five circles– UP East, Chennai, Tamil Nadu, Kolkata and Maharashtra & Goa. New users looking for a Vi Family postpaid connection can subscribe to Rs 649, Rs 799, Rs 999, Rs 948 or Rs 1,348 plan. It was recently reported that Vi is considering delaying the price hike, but this move from the operator will surprise analysts.
