Reliance Jio says it will increase mobile phone tariffs in next few weeks

Reliance Jio on Tuesday said it will increase mobile phone tariffs in next few weeks.

The announcement comes a day after its rivals Airtel and Vodafone Idea said they will be raising tariffs from 1 December.

Jio said telecom regulator TRAI is likely to initiate consultation process for revision in telecom tariffs.

“Like other operators, we will also work with the government and comply with the regulatory regime to strengthen the industry to benefit Indian consumers and take measures including appropriate increase in tariffs in next few weeks in a manner that does not adversely impact data consumption or growth in digital adoption and sustains investments,” it said in a statement.
