Telecom companies are expecting a 25 per cent tariff hike this year as your smartphone bill is likely to increase in 2022. Gopal Vittal, managing director, Bharti Airtel, said he expects another price hike this year. This is said to increase the average revenue (ARPU) per user to Rs.200. The tariff hike is expected to take place in the coming months.
“I expect a tariff increase in 2022. However I do not think this is going to happen in the next 3-4 months. Because SIM integration and development has to come back. But I expect another tariff hike. ” He said that.
It is noteworthy that in November 2021 Airtel increased the price of prepaid plans by 18 to 25 percent. Reliance Jio has not yet commented on whether there are any plans to increase prices in the event of a tariff hike in 2022.
Vittal stressed that he expects the average revenue per user (ARPU) to be around Rs 300 in the next few years.
He added that time will tell whether there will be a 25 per cent tariff hike in 2022.
