Vodafone Idea (Vi) has expressed the expectation that mobile recharge plans may get expensive again. Vi’s Chief Executive Akshay Mundhra said that the telecom sector may have to pay more for tariff plans again in the next 15 months. If this happens, then mobile recharge plans of Jio, Airtel and Vodafone-Idea may get expensive.
For how long will mobile users be affected by inflation
He has expressed hope that the tariff will increase again by the second half of 2025. The reason behind this is believed to be to boost cash flow in the telecom sector operators. Akshay Mundhra said that the company had increased the tariff plan in July. Also, after the next 15 months, we can consider increasing the price again.
Mobile recharge plans have increased recently
In July, Reliance Jio increased its tariffs between 12% and 25%. Soon after Jio, Bharti Airtel increased its tariffs by 11% to 21%. A day after these two companies, on July 4, 2024, Vi increased mobile tariffs by 10-23%. Customers have distanced themselves from Jio, Airtel and Vodafone-Idea due to expensive recharge plans. Also, they are looking at BSNL as an option.
Vodafone-Idea 5G network will be rolled out across the country
Vi has made a big deal with Samsung, Nokia and Ericsson, under which the 4G network will be expanded in the next three years. Also, 5G network will be rolled out. Mundra said that the delivery of 4G and 5G equipment will start soon. He said that Vodafone-Idea has got 5G spectrum in 17 circles. In such a situation, VI will launch 5G in all the circles.
If necessary, the Vi 5G network rollout process will happen soon
Akshay Mundhra said that the development of 5G is happening at a very fast pace. In such a situation, we are keeping an eye on India’s 5G market. If necessary, Vodafone-Idea will speed up the 5G network rollout.
