Airtel has introduced a new Rs 499 monthly postpaid offering that includes complimentary international roaming, marking a price revision for its postpaid segment.
Airtel, one of India’s leading telecom operators, announced a revision of its postpaid pricing structure by rolling out a Rs 499 per month plan. The new offering is positioned as a mid‑tier option for existing and prospective postpaid customers.
The Rs 499 plan comes with free international roaming, allowing subscribers to use voice and data services abroad without additional charges. Details on data limits or other benefits were not disclosed in the initial announcement.
Industry analysts note that the move reflects heightened competition in the Indian telecom market, where operators are continuously tweaking tariffs to retain high‑value users. Airtel’s decision to bundle international roaming at this price point aims to differentiate its postpaid portfolio from rivals.
