Jio, Airtel, and Vi Entry-level Recharge Plans
The new entry-level recharge plans now begin at ₹299
Indian mobile users are set to spend more on data as Reliance Jio and Bharti Airtel have withdrawn their low-cost prepaid recharge packs. The move, aimed at boosting average revenue per user (ARPU), leaves millions of subscribers with no choice but to shift to higher-priced plans.
Cheapest Plans Now Start at ₹299
With budget-friendly packs out of the picture, the new entry-level recharge plans now begin at ₹299 and above, offering at least 1GB of data per day. This marks a steep price jump for cost-conscious users who previously depended on cheaper options.
