Bharti Airtel may offer 5G on higher priced tariff plans: Report

NEW DELHI: Bharti Airtel may offer 5G service on its high-priced tariff plans and may not charge a premium for its fast fifth-generation mobile service, having firmed up its network rollout plans for 5,000 towns, with a pan-India coverage planned by March 2024.

“My feeling is that with 5G, penetration will increase so quickly that it will be like any other offering. Anybody who has a 5G handset will get 5G. They will consume more and automatically go to a higher tariff plan. This would result in higher revenues,” Akhil Gupta, vice-chairman of parent Bharti Enterprises was quoted as saying by Mint.
