Jio, BSNL undecided on tariff hike, taking stock of evolving scenario

Faced with almost no choice and amidst reports of government moving to set a floor price for voice and data, two hardest-hit telcos – Airtel and Vodafone – on Monday announced their decision to raise tariffs from next month while their arch-rival Reliance Jio has so far not made up its mind and is watching the developments.

According to BSNL sources, the PSU will examine the situation and react.

PSU sources said it is taking stock of the evolving scenario and as both the telcos have not announced how much the increase in the tariffs will be, so the PSU will examine and then react on the proposed hike once these two announce the quantum.
