Jio and its closest rival Bharti Airtel Ltd recently removed their entry-level plans to bump up their average revenue per user (or Arpu, a key performance metric for telecom operators), triggering expectations that the telecom operators would increase tariffs towards the end of the year or in early 2026.
“We are nudging consumers to consume more and happily pay more, but no immediate plans for the tariff (hike),” said Anshuman Thakur, head of strategy at Reliance Jio Infocomm, during an earnings call with analysts.
In the September quarter, Jio’s monthly Arpu rose 1.2% to ₹211.4 from ₹208.8 at the end of June, with growth slowing due to promotional 5G offers, according to the company.
