Telecom sector in the country, of late, has been witnessing immense disruptions, thanks to Reliance Jio’s ‘larger than life’ entry into the communication sector with some real mind-boggling offers. With this, the most hurt is telecom major Bharti Airtel, hence in a bid to curb Reliance Jio’s wild-going offers it has introduced the most lucrative recharge options for its prepaid customers. The new range of prepaid plans starts from as low as INR 5 and goes up to INR 399. Mukesh Ambani led Reliance Industries launched ‘Jio’ services in September 2017, and brought price insurgency in the telecommunication sector with free domestic voice calls and zero roaming charges. This was followed by low-cost data along with other freebies.

The Apr-Jun quarter that ended on 30 June witnessed a decline in Bharti Airtel’s net profit to INR 367 Cr from INR 1,462 Cr, which was recorded last year. This is the smallest profit Airtel has registered in last 18 quarters. Considering the profit and margin woes Bharti Mittal’s telecom venture is out here to tempt customers.

Meanwhile, Mukesh Ambani-led Reliance Jio has amassed over 12 crore customers in 10 months of its entry in the telecom industry.Below are the latest plans launched by Bharti Airtel:
