The country’s largest private telecom player, Bharti Airtel, today hinted that mobile tariffs may increase further due to the rising operating costs.
“The pressure on this industry will be acute since the operators have to serve the rural markets as well as low-end customers, who use only voice calls and text messages,” said Sunil Mittal, chairman, Bharti Airtel at an industry event.
He said the correction in tariffs was required to compensate for the rural operations and the cost of operations had gone up exponentially.
