Vi announces mobile tariff hike for prepaid and postpaid users

India’s third-largest telecommunication service provider, Vodafone Idea (Vi), has announced a price hike in its mobile tariffs for both prepaid and postpaid users. The announcement comes after the recent mobile tariff increase by its rivals, Reliance Jio and Bharti Airtel.

“In line with its commitment to providing its consumers with simple and comprehensive plans, Vi has curated an optimum range of feature-rich plans to meet the diverse needs of its consumers. Staying true to its philosophy of supporting entry-level users and progressively linking higher prices to increased usage, changes in entry-level plans are nominal,” the company said in a statement.

Here’s the revised tariffs:

Revised postpaid plans:

Vi claims it is the only telco to offer unmatched benefits to its prepaid customers by providing Night Free Data and Weekend Data Roll Over with its ‘Hero Unlimited’ plans. Vi also offers the Choose Your Benefit option to its postpaid customers under the Vi Max Plans. Furthermore, the company is planning to invest significantly over the next few quarters to enhance the 4G experience and launch 5G services.

The revised tariffs will be effective from July 4, 2024, and will be available across all existing touch points and channels, including the Vi website, Vi app, Vi Store, and third-party recharge merchants.
