Both companies are adjusting their rates to sustain growth and invest in 5G technology. If you’re an existing subscriber, it’s essential to be aware of these changes to make informed decisions about your mobile plans.

Why They Are Hike The Prices?

Both Reliance Jio and Airtel are increasing their mobile service rates for several reasons:

  1. Infrastructure Investment: To expand and improve their networks, telecom companies need substantial investments in infrastructure. The revenue generated from tariff hikes helps fund these upgrades.
  2. 5G Rollout: As 5G technology becomes more prevalent, companies are investing in the necessary infrastructure. These investments require additional capital, which is partly covered by tariff adjustments.
  3. Inflation and Operating Costs: Inflation affects operational costs, including maintenance, salaries, and other expenses. Adjusting tariffs helps companies maintain profitability.
  4. Market Dynamics: Telecom companies compete fiercely for subscribers. Adjusting prices allows them to balance affordability with profitability while remaining competitive.

Remember that these decisions are influenced by various factors, and companies aim to strike a balance between providing quality services and sustaining their business.
