Bharti Airtel announced hike in its call tariffs by 20% in six major circles including New Delhi, Andhra Pradesh and Uttar Pradesh. The hike in tariff will be affected both pre-paid and post-paid customers. Now Tariffs have been increased from1 paise per second to 1.2 paisa per second.
A leading Indian telecom company Bharti Airtel mobile has a total of 169.2 million subscribers and is the fifth-largest mobile operator globally with operations in 19 countries including South Asia and Africa.
The hike comes as Bharti combats fierce domestic competition that has resulted in cutting call rates and now is struggling with high interest costs on debt accumulated to purchase mobile licences in India and to expand into Africa.
