Airtel has announced complete revision in its prepaid mobile tariffs in India. These new tariffs will come into effect from November 26. A minimum price increase of Rs. 20 has been announced on prepaid plans, while some packs see a price hike of up to Rs. 501 as well. Airtel says that this price hike has been introduced to enable a reasonable return on capital that allows for a financially healthy business model.

Also, the Rs. 698 Airtel prepaid plan will now be priced at Rs. 839. It offers the same benefits as the Rs. 2,999 plan, but has a validity of 84 days.

In addition, the Rs. 598 prepaid pack will be priced at Rs. 719 and the combo plan comes with 84 days of validity and 1.5GB of daily data.
