India's Telecom Sector Anticipates 12-15% Tariff Increase in Coming Months
India's telecom sector is expected to see a 12-15% tariff increase within the next three to four months, driven by market consolidation favoring three main players: Reliance Jio, Bharti Airtel, and Vodafone Idea. The June quarter anticipates a 1-1.5% rise in average revenue per user due to subscriber migration to 4G and 5G networks and postpaid additions. Reliance Jio and Bharti Airtel are projected to gain subscribers, while Vodafone Idea's growth remains modest. Data usage per customer is expected to stay strong amid expanding 4G and 5G coverage.
