This helped quickly on-board over 125 million 5G users between them so far.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But with 5G rollouts scaling pan-India in 2023, the operators will focus more on driving revenues through premium 5G plans beyond a point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>5-10% Costlier 5G Plans on Cards<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As per projections, Airtel and Jio&#8217;s 5G packs could be priced 5-10% higher than their 4G plans by H2 2024 while bundling 30-40% more data. This will balance adoption with monetization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The tariff hikes are also crucial for telcos to improve their RoCE and profitability from current levels. India already has the lowest $2 monthly mobile tariff globally as per ITU, giving room for price increases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These will augment the fast-growing mobile sector revenues as 5G user base swells beyond 200 million by end-2024. Higher data usage and upselling opportunities for telcos exist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By starting to charge premium rates for 5G in a phased manner, Airtel and Jio hope to capitalize on their co-leadership in next-gen 5G networks. For users, it may mean shelling out more to enjoy faster speeds and low latency.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In what may disappoint 5G users in India, leading telecom operators Bharti Airtel and Reliance Jio are expected to scrap their unlimited 5G data offerings by mid-2024.
