Airtel price hike 2021 |
Such a huge subscriber base is shocked when Airtel announced a hike in their recharge plans for India. Overall the price of each Airtel recharge plan is now more than what it earlier was. Therefore Airtel users now have to pay more for their previous plan which ultimately is forcing masses to recharge Airtel Sim before the date when Airtel hiked plans will come into force.
Why does Airtel Hike the Prices of all Airtel Plans?
Airtel post-paid and prepaid prices hiked in this month from November which obviously will benefit the business model as Airtel mentioned in their Bharti Airtel Tweet a day ago. According to them Bharti Airtel or Airtel has always maintained the ARPU or Average Revenue Per User at Rs.200 and now increasing it by Rs.100 that is to Rs.300 will assist in providing reasonable returns to the company Airtel which will eventually help in maintaining the healthy financial business model.
Further, they believe that this level of hike or APRU will enable considerable investment required in network and spectrum. Ultimately this finally will aid Airtel to roll out true Airtel 5G in India. Earlier as the Airtel plan prices were not enough to raise the capital to invest in to roll out 5G Network in India they decided to raise the price by 20% to 30% for each Airtel plan. This will help to generate enough capital to release Airtel 5G in India as Airtel wants to be the first to bring 5G network in India which will help it in increasing its user base even further.
