Telecom tariffs: Industry eyes 10–12% hike by year-end

Indian telecom users are likely to face another round of tariff hikes by the end of 2025, with prices potentially increasing by 10-12% for mid- and high-paying consumers. This revision is influenced by a surge in active subscribers and the return of secondary SIM users. Operators may adopt tiered pricing models, focusing on data usage and speeds to maximize revenue.
