After six months of unlimited free data and voice, Reliance Jio will
start charging for its services post March 31. Sunil Mittal, the
Chairman of Bharti Airtel
, said Jio's new Rs 303 tariff plan is very aggressive, and telecom
operators will have to respond with better plans.
The telecom industry has been in consolidation mode, after Reliance Jio disrupted the sector by providing unlimited free voice and data. While
industry giants Vodafone India and Idea Cellular
plan a merger, Bharti Airtel recently acquired Telenor's India wing to
become more competitive.
"Once the merger is approved by the authorities, we will merge that
network into our network and bolster our existing 4G network, said
Mittal.
Mittal expects that Airtel's plan to completely drop roaming charges,
will result in increase of usage.
