Introduction
Hello Bloggers welcome alltechnology blog. In this blog you will learn Vodafone Idea (Vi) follows Jio and Airtel, announces tariff hikes: Full details here. So friends, I have given a lot of information in this blog post, if you liked my information then please let me know.
- The tariff hike Airtel and Vodafone Idea are as much as 50%.
- Reliance Jio is yet to announce its new plans but reports suggest the cost may rise 40%.
Airtel users can queue existing plans for a period of up to one year, while Jio has no such limit. You could essentially continue to use existing plans on Airtel for the next one year, and seemingly for an infinite period on Jio. Vodafone does not allow users to queue any plans at the moment.
However, for most of the users, the effective increase in prices will end up between ₹140 and ₹190 for 84 days. Essentially, while the price hike might seem a bit too much on a per recharge basis, it doesn’t seem a lot when you consider the per day increase.

Vodafone Idea and Airtel need tariff hikes, AGR moratorium might not be enough, say analysts
“The above reforms only address the liquidity stress in the sector and does not solve the elevated leverage levels in the sector. Sustainability of the sector is still predicated on tariff revivals — we believe that [the] government needs to implement more structural reforms,” stated a report by JM Financial dated September 15. The report further states that this can be done by the government in two ways: Introducing floor tariffs across the sector. Setting up a mechanism for sustainable tariff hikes in the future.

The second option could result in a continued increase in prices for telecom subscribers, which may not get support from the government. A JP Morgan report dated September 16 states that while these telecom reforms address near-term liquidity challenges for Vodafone Idea, they won’t be enough to improve the telco’s situation in terms of capex (capital expenditure) to improve network quality.
This, the report states, will require either a capital raise, or a substantial tariff hike. Nitin Soni, senior director at Fitch Ratings, said that the relief package will provide cash flow relief to the telecom sector thanks to the moratorium, but he was not optimistic about Vodafone Idea’s prospects.
“Specifically on Vodafone idea, it is unlikely to salvage the company’s competitive position given its subscriber losses, declining average revenue per user (ARPU) and insufficient cash generation to fund interest cost,” he told Business Insider. SEE ALSO:
