Reliance Jio to Increase Tariff by 39% from December 6

GUWAHATI: Reliance Jio will raise mobile call and data charges by up to 39 per cent from December 6 through its all-in-one plans.

The all-in-one plans will provide at least 1.5 GB per day of data and increased number of offnet calls, the company said in a statement.

The tariff hike, which is planned to match similar increases by rival Bharti Airtel and Vodafone Idea Ltd will give 300 per cent more benefits.

According to the new tariff plans, Jio customers will have to pay Rs 555 for 84-day validity and 1.5 GB of data per day, which is 39 per cent higher than the earlier plan of Rs 399 offering similar benefits.

The company has raised the price of Rs 153 plan to Rs 199; Rs 198 plan to Rs 249; Rs 299 plan to Rs 349; Rs 349 plan to Rs 399; Rs 448 to Rs 599;  Rs 1,699 plan to Rs 2199, and Rs 98 plan to Rs 129.

The Rs 199 plan, a 28-day validity plan that offers 1.5GB data per day, is about 25 per cent cheaper than the plans of rivals offering similar benefits at a price of around Rs 249.

These plans will go-live on 6th December 2019," Jio said in a statement.

On the other hand Bharti Airtel and Vodafone Idea have already raised mobile services rates by up to 50 per cent effective December 3.
