Country’s biggest telecom operator Airtel has announced an increase in its post-paid monthly charges by about 12 per cent in select plans, effective December in Delhi NCR region.
“Effective 3-Dec 2014, bill plan rental for your airtel mobile will be revised from Rs 199 per month to Rs 224 per month,” Airtel said in a message to its customers. Industry sources said Airtel has increased rates across low rental plans. When contacted, Airtel spokesperson said “There is only a marginal revision in the monthly rentals of few of our postpaid plans in Delhi-NCR with no change in the plan benefits. We continue to offer excellent value proposition to customers.”
Airtel has a mobile subscriber base of over 20 crore customers, which include both pre-paid and post-paid users. last week, Bharti Airtel had reported nearly three-fold jump in consolidated net profit at Rs 1,383 crore for the September quarter.
