Indian telecom operators last month announced they will increase mobile tariffs from December. The move comes in the wake of TRAI's consultation process for revision in telecom tariffs.

"Like other operators, we will also work with the government and comply with the regulatory regime to strengthen the industry to benefit Indian consumers and take measures including appropriate increase in tariffs in next few weeks in a manner that does not adversely impact data consumption or growth in digital adoption and sustains investments," Reliance Jio had said in a statement.

Airtel and Vodafone-Idea had also confirmed plans to revise mobile tariffs.

"The telecom sector is highly capital intensive with fast changing technology cycles that require continuing investments. It is, therefore, extremely important that the industry remains viable to support the vision of Digital India," Bharti Airtel had said. "Accordingly, Airtel will appropriately increase price offerings in the month beginning December," it added.

Airtel and Vodafone Idea had posted a combined loss of 74,000 crore in Q2 by provisioning for the AGR pending dues.
