India Telecom Sector Expected to Raise Tariffs by 12-15% in Coming Months
India's telecom sector is expected to implement a 12-15% tariff increase over the next four to five months due to a more favorable pricing environment following market consolidation. Bharti Airtel, Reliance Jio, and Vodafone Idea Limited (VIL) anticipate a 0.8-2.0% quarter-on-quarter rise in average revenue per user, driven by 2G to 4G/5G migration and postpaid additions. Reliance Jio and Airtel are projected to gain subscribers, while VIL plans to expand its 5G coverage and secure funding for its capital expenditure program.
