The discussion on increasing mobile recharge prices in India has intensified. According to the report, Jio, Airtel and Vi may increase the prices of their plans by 10-12% by the end of December or the beginning of the new year.

Discussion on rising recharge prices: There has been a long-running discussion in the Indian telecom sector that recharge prices may increase from December 2025. It is estimated that prices may increase by 10 to 12%. This increase will be seen mainly in the plans of Jio, Airtel and Vodafone Idea. However, none of these three companies have officially confirmed it yet. Tensions rose due to social media posts. Tipster @yabhishekhd on social media platform X said that payment apps are warning him about increase in recharge prices. The user claimed that notifications are coming in the apps that recharge rates will increase from December 1, so users now have to recharge at the old rates. People reacted to the report and expressed their concern that it could be true. Do payment programs give warnings to take precautions? The news that many financial and payment apps are giving this warning to users is spreading fast on social media. In the notice, users are advised to recharge now to avoid high prices. After such warnings surfaced, customers became even more worried. People are questioning why these apps are giving such notifications without any official statement. Popular plans can also get expensive. According to reports, the price of monthly plan may increase from Rs 199 to Rs 222. Similarly, the long-term pack may increase from Rs 899 to Rs 1006. Jio and Airtel have already given signals to the market by removing some low-cost and 1GB/day packs. VI may do so as well, as companies say it is necessary due to rising costs and the need to raise more funds for 5G network expansion. Airtel discontinues two affordable recharge plans Airtel has quietly discontinued two of its prepaid recharge plans, which came as a big shock to its customers. Airtel disappointed customers who bought the ₹121 and ₹181 plans, which offered huge benefits at a lower price. These plans came at a low price with a validity of 30 days. It could also be a sign of further rate hikes. Share this story Tags
