Airtel has increased price of its minimum monthly recharge plan from 35 to 45. The change in the plan has come into effect from Sunday.

The price revision comes after almost one year Airtel introduced the 35 plan as the monthly minimum recharge plan. For 35, Airtel offered 100MB of 3G/4G data, talktime of 26.66 along with local and STD calls at 1 paisa per second. The validity of this plan was 28 days.

Airtel, Reliance Jio, and Vodafone recently hiked mobile tariffs in India. Airtel said its revised mobile tariffs represent a hike in the range of 50 paise per day to 2.85. Airtel also included the 6 paise per minute IUC charges on unlimited calling from its network to other networks.

Vodafone Idea increased tariffs by up to 40%. Reliance Jio also introduced new all-in-one plans with hiked tariffs. Jio said its new plans with revised prices still offer more value than the competition. The company, however, retained the limited IUC minutes in the new plans.
