Vodafone Idea (Vi) has revised the prices of several of its prepaid plans after Airtel made a similar move a few days ago, in order to increase the average revenue per user (ARPU).
According to reports, the new prices for Vi plans will come into effect from 25 November 2021 in India. The price hike involves an additional Rs. 500 on prepaid packs.
In addition, data top ups to unlimited voice bundles have also seen a price hike. Even the base level Rs. 79 voice pack will be seeing a price hike of Rs. 20, and eventually be priced at Rs. 99.
According to a statement released by Vodaphone Idea, the main motive behind increasing the tariff rates is to improve the ARPU and help address the financial stress faced by the telecommunication industry.
