Jio announces hike in prepaid tariffs, to come into effect from December 1

Reliance Jio on Sunday announced up to 21 per cent hike in its prepaid tariffs starting December 1. The announcement from India’s largest mobile operator comes days after Bharti Airtel and Vodafone Idea also implemented a tariff hike, signalling an end of the low tariff regime in the telecom sector. Airtel and Vodafone Idea last week announced up to 25% hike in their prepaid plans tariffs.

JioPhone Plan, Unlimited Plans, and data add on, will be impacted by the latest increase in tariff ranging from 19.6% to 21.3%. Jio said that customers can opt for the new unlimited plans from existing touchpoints and channels.

“In line with its commitment to further strengthen a sustainable telecom industry, where every Indian is empowered with a true digital life, Jio today announced its new unlimited plans. These plans will provide the best value in the industry,” Reliance Jio said in a statement.
