Following Bharti and after months of expectation, VIL finally announced a tariff hike to the tune of 20% across its price plans, effective from 25th Nov'21. It is now important for RJio to follow suit to ensure sustainability of the tariff hikes. VIL's ARPU, which stands at a mere INR109 (40% below Bharti), given the higher proportion of customers on lower base plans, could see a big push, provided it doesn't see a huge market share loss.<div class="content-highlight">Content is external broker report sourced from online content aggregator through publicly available sources and is displayed below for general informational purposes only.
