Vodafone Idea (Vi) has again expressed hope that mobile recharge plans will become expensive. Vi's Chief Executive Akshay Mundhra said that the telecom sector may have to give expensive tariff plans again in the next 15 months. If this happens, then the mobile recharge plans of Jio, Airtel and Vodafone-Idea may become expensive.
How long will the impact of inflation last on mobile consumers?
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 operator. Akshay Mundra said that the company had increased the tariff plan in July. Also, after the next 15 months, we can consider increasing the price again.
Recently there has been an increase in mobile recharge plans
In July, Reliance Jio increased its tariff from 12% to 25%. Soon after Jio, Bharti Airtel also increased its tariff from 11% to 21%. A day after these two companies, i.e. on July 4, 2024, Vi increased mobile tariffs by 10-23%. Due to expensive recharge plans, customers have distanced themselves from Jio, Airtel and Vodafone-Idea. Also, they are looking at BSNL as an alternative.
Vodafone-Idea's 5G network will be launched 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. Along with this, 5G network will also be started. Mundra said that the delivery of 4G and 5G devices 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 circles.
