Airtel to finalise 5G tariffs soon, may not charge a premium now
The company launched 5G services in eight cities including Delhi and Mumbai on October 1 and plans to cover the big cities by December. As per the senior executive of the company, pricing the 5G tariffs higher at this stage won't push up average revenue per user (ARPU) due to the low subscriber base at present. He, however, said tariffs need to go up as the current rates are not sustainable. The company aims to achieve an ARPU of ₹200 in near term and then reach to ₹300.
