But Reliance Jio’s move to increase tariffs came sooner than expected. Even as Jio, Vodafone Idea and Airtel are teasing each other over it on social media, and thousands are trolling Mukesh Ambani for ‘breaking his free’ promise---it is good news for the industry. At least that is what India Ratings believes. Jio charging its customers 6 paise per minute on its ‘free’ calling package—can help increase the rising margins of the industry. The sector’s average revenue per user will go up by ₹9, and in general increase by 15-18% according to the rating agency. Like Jio says in its tweet, this amount will be going to Vodafone Idea and Airtel as Jio can no longer get away without paying telecom department’s mandatory inter-connection (IUC) charges. This is the charge paid to a network which is receiving calls, by the network from where a call originates. In an ideal situation, the amount all networks pay each other should balance out—considering their subscriber number is around the same. However, that is not to be. Jio has the most to lose. The offnet minutes of usage is 64% for Jio, while it is at 41% for Voda-Idea and 45% for Airtel. “Also, of the total offnet voice traffic, net incoming minutes as a proportion of total offnet minutes stands at negative 29% for R-Jio whereas the same is 9% and 19% for Airtel and Voda-Idea respectively, implying that network voice traffic imbalance is significantly higher for R-Jio compared with peers. Hence, R-Jio remains a net-payer of IUC expenses, whereas Voda-Idea and Airtel are net-receivers of IUC receipts,” says India Ratings. Basically, calls originate from Jio and land on other networks. Jio users continue to keep other network SIMs It means that more people are using Jio SIMs for its cheap data plans, and also for making the ‘free’ calls it offers. It makes sense as Jio’s data tariffs are 25-30% cheaper than that of Airtel and Voda-Idea. Yet, users have not given up their basic SIMs which belonged to other networks, and continue to exist. These numbers are ‘primary’ phone numbers which are key to their bank accounts and other necessary identifications. And, few seem to believe that cheap tariff party will not continue to exist. All mixed with the ease of owning multiple SIMs have played against Jio. Had subscribers chosen to keep only Jio connections and get rid of others, they would have ported to it. Looks like not many have done that.

 And, data is only one facet of the increase in prices. Customers will also have to bear the burden of being charged to place calls outside their networks since most telecom plans no longer provide ‘<a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/tech/apps/news/jios-new-recharge-plans-can-be-confusing-heres-how-to-figure-them-out/articleshow/72257183.cms">unlimited calling</a>'. Data will still be pretty darn cheap Even though data rates in India might not be the cheapest — they're still among the lowest in the world. Other developing nations around the world bear much higher tariffs. In Brazil, for instance, the cost of data is 12 times more expensive at $3.50 per GB. And, in China — one of India's neighbors — 1GB costs $9.89 on an average. Data in developed nations like the United States and Canada costs in excess of $12 per GB. Zimbabwe telcos charge $75.50 for 1GB on an average, making its data the most expensive in the world.

Fact check: India's mobile tariffs aren't the cheapest in the world anymore

New Delhi: Telecom operator <keyword id="6354287" type="COMPANY" weightage="20" keywordseo="bharti-airtel">Bharti Airtel</keyword> has removed cap from free outgoing calls on other networks under its new plans for pre-paid customers that came into effect from December 3. The company had earlier capped outgoing calls to network of other telecom operator to 1,000 minutes in case of plans with 28 days validity, 3,000 in 84 days validity plans and 12,000 in 365 days validity plan. Beyond this limit, customers were required to pay 6 paisa per minute for outgoing calls. "From tomorrow, enjoy unlimited calling to any network in India with all our unlimited plans. No conditions apply," Bharti <keyword id="15491" type="COMPANY" weightage="20" keywordseo="Airtel">Airtel</keyword> said in a tweet on Friday. The company on December 1 announced new plans under which call and data charges became dearer for its pre-paid customers by up to 50 per cent from December 3. The company had announced new plans in "unlimited"category with 2 days, 28 days, 84 days, 365 days validity which on the back of the envelope calculations showed higher price of up to 50 per cent Bharti Airtel increased its entry level unlimited plan with a year long validity by about 50 per cent to Rs 1,499, with 24 GB of data, in place of Rs 998 plan which comes with 12 GB data usage limit. The price of 365-days validity plan in the same category with daily data usage limit of 1.5 GB per day now costs 41.2 per cent more at Rs 2,398. The company also announced three new plans - Rs 219 with 28 days validity offering 1 GB per day, Rs 399 and Rs 449 plan with 56 days validity each, offering 1.5 Gb and 2 GB data usage, respectively. With the removal of limit, Airtel's new 399 plans with 56 days validity becomes cheaper than that of Reliance <keyword id="2003276" type="COMPANY" weightage="20" keywordseo="Jio">Jio</keyword> plan at same price. The move from both the companies follows Supreme Court judgement on adjusted gross revenue. Bharti Airtel has posted a staggering Rs 23,045 crore net loss for the second quarter ended September 30, due to provisioning of Rs 28,450 crore in the aftermath of the Supreme Court ruling on statutory dues. According to government data, the liabilities in the case of Bharti Airtel add up to nearly Rs 35,586 crore, of which Rs 21,682 crore is licence fee and another Rs 13,904.01 crore is the SUC dues (excluding the dues of Telenor and Tata Teleservices). The government is currently not considering any proposal on waiver of penalties and interest on outstanding licence fee based on adjusted gross revenue (AGR), or on extending the timelines for telecom companies to pay up their statutory dues.

Coca Cola-themed smartphone expected to launch in India this year

New Delhi, Dec 2 () A day after India's top mobile phone service providers announced an increase in call and data charges, Telecom Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad on Monday said mobile internet rate in the country remains by far the lowest in the world.
 Bharti Airtel Ltd, Vodafone Idea Ltd and Reliance Jio Infocomm Ltd had on Sunday announced the rise in the cost of subscriptions to their plans with effect from Tuesday.
 "India's mobile internet rate per GB remains by far the lowest in the world. The UK-based http://cable.co.uk which compared mobile data plans around the world has indicated this," Prasad tweeted posting the comparative chart made by the price comparison site in March 2019.
 The average price of USD 0.26 for one gigabyte (GB) in India compares to USD 6.66 in the UK and USD 12.37 for the same amount of data in the US, the study, which compared mobile data charges in 230 countries, had shown in March 2019, which was posted by Prasad on Monday.
 The global average is USD 8.53 for 1 GB.
 "Government of @narendramodi inherited the high cost of the mobile internet from UPA, which was as high as Rs 268.97 per GB in 2014. Now it is Rs 11.78 per GB, as per TRAI," he said in another tweet.
 Bharti Airtel hiked prices of its most expensive plan by as much as 41 per cent effective December 3, while Reliance Jio raised them by as much as 40 per cent from December 6. Vodafone Idea increase would also be effective from December 3.
 "The mobile phone mess was the scam-tainted legacy of UPA. We have set it right, expanded mobile telephony with consumer satisfaction. Also committed to making BSNL/ MTNL professional and profitable," Prasad said in another tweet.
 The hike in tariff comes weeks after the Supreme Court upheld the government's definition of adjusted gross revenue (AGR), which is the basis on which telecom companies' licence fees and spectrum usage charges are paid. Bharti Airtel, Vodafone Idea and other telcos face as much as Rs 1.47 lakh crore in past liabilities following this ruling.
 Vodafone Idea and Bharti Airtel have announced new tariffs effective December 3 where headline data plans are priced 15-47 per cent higher. Both have removed their 1 GB per day plans (Rs 399 for 84 days) keeping just the 1.5 GB a day 84-day plan that itself is now 30 per cent more expensive at Rs 599 (from 459 before).
 Vodafone Idea though has retained a Rs 379 plan which gives 6 GB data for 84 days.
 Jio would raise tariffs by up to 40 per cent from December 6 and also with 300 per cent more benefit.
 While Airtel and Vodafone Idea have increased the pricing at the lower end voice-centric plans from Rs35/Rs65 to Rs49/Rs79, the pricing for 28-day unlimited combo plans have increased by 15-30 per cent. The pricing for the most popular 84-day unlimited plan has increased by 30-36 per cent.
 Following in Jio's footsteps, both Bharti Airtel and Vodafone Idea have also introduced caps for off-net calls as part of their 'unlimited calling' benefits.
 According to Credit Suisse, post the tariff hikes, Bharti Airtel and Vodafone Idea's plans are at a 20-60 per cent premium over Jio's October 2019 'All-in-plans'. "We think after Jio's announced tariff hikes, the premium is likely to decline to 10-20 per cent for the more popular tariff plans."
 It expected more tariff increases over the next 12-18 months. ANZ HRS

The second wave of COVID-19 cases has filled WhatsApp chats (and other social media) with fearful exchanges about the possibility of yet another lockdown. The possible dent in consumer confidence, which improved in January, may take a further knock from rising cost of everyday essentials. What makes this threat to people’s livelihood even worse are the rising prices of daily essentials and the depleted savings. To top up the miserable feeling, the salaried class in the private sector is going to see a fall in take home pay due to <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/personal-finance/news/your-take-home-salaries-could-shrink-sharply-in-april-with-indias-new-definition-of-wages/articleshow/81631662.cms#:~:text=India's%20new%20labour%20codes%2C%20which,like%20gratuity%20and%20leave%20encashment.">the new definition of wages that kicks in</a> from April 1. Food and fuel are already taking a big chunk out of people’s earnings Essential fuels like petrol and diesel are already too expensive. At 8.76%, food inflation was already high in February 2020. So compared to that a 4.25% rise in food prices in February this year may seem slower but it is still significant. <div type="image" title="B3FC84F1-0AB9-4D7E-BB9E-EB94502CE6E9_edited" msid="81667538" hostid="261" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Attendant shows price of fuel at a petrol pump in Nagpur&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> While the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) expects prices to be stable hereon, any supply disruption due to measures taken to curb the spike in COVID-19 cases will only make it worse. Raw materials such as palm oil, copra and edible oils have risen sharply. Since price hikes have been quite limited over the past two years, Dabur has room to raise prices this year, the management told analysts recently. The company sells everyday items like toothpaste and fruit juices to branded honey and mosquito repellents. Soap makers have already hiked prices by 5–6%, and another round of a 3% hike is likely, an Edelweiss report dated March 19 said. Crude oil prices are up 26% compared to a year earlier, which makes nylon more expensive. That, in turn, will increase prices of cotton that is a competing commodity. Wholesale prices of cotton are already up 24% between October 2020 and February this year. And that could, eventually, reflect in the prices of textiles and apparels.

While Vodafone Idea is getting relegated to the margin, the Aditya Birla Group company may have to increase tariff to stay in the game, allowing Mukesh Ambani and Sunil Mittal to follow suit. So mobile bills are going to get more expensive. <div type="image" title="man on mobile phone_edited" msid="81667557" hostid="261" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;The market is shrinking, effectively, into a duopoly between Airtel and Reliance Ji0, which could result in a hike in prices of data&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> Cost of metals like steel, aluminium, palladium, platinum and rhodium are up 30% in the last six months, according to JM Financial. These are key inputs for automobiles and the rise in prices reflect in the cost of buying with a lag of a few months. No wonder, India’s largest motorbike maker Hero MotoCorp just announced <a href="https://www.bseindia.com/xml-data/corpfiling/AttachLive/b4e500a3-9a79-4dc6-b18d-ec23916af252.pdf">a hike of up to ₹2,500 per unit from April 1</a>. Other major players in the two-wheeler space like Bajaj Auto and TVS Motor have already hiked by 2-3% in the last few months, over and above a 20% rise in the last couple of years due to the shift to BS-VI models to reduce pollution. Those who planned to buy cars may have to shell out more too. <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/business/auto/news/maruti-suzuki-to-increase-price-of-cars-from-april-2021/articleshow/81632209.cms">Maruti Suzuki</a> and <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/business/auto/news/nissan-india-to-increase-prices-of-all-models-for-nissan-and-datsun-from-april-1/articleshow/81647750.cms">Nissan</a> have already announced that the rising price of raw materials will force these companies to raise prices in April. <div type="image" title="maruti_edited" msid="81667591" hostid="261" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Cars at a Maruti dealership in New Delhi&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> India’s <a href="https://m.economictimes.com/markets/stocks/news/ttk-prestige-raised-prices-by-4-5-price-so-far-will-take-more-hikes-during-the-week-t-jagannathan/videoshow/79795003.cms">largest consumer appliances maker, TTK Prestige</a>, known for its pressure cookers hiked prices, on average, by 9% across product categories including mixer grinders and gas stoves. The company’s smaller peer Butterfly Gandhimathi has hiked prices by 5% in December but, yet another one, Hawkins hasn’t followed suit yet. The price of copper is near an all-time high nearly twice of what it was five years ago. So, cable makers like Finolex Cables and Polycab have already passed the pressure on to their customers. KEI Industries, which makes cables, is revising prices every 15 days based on the prices of the key raw material copper, Edelweiss said. And, that means the cost of production is significantly higher for electrical appliance makers like Havells and V-Guard Industries. Especially in the case of V-Guard, which is popular for its inverters and voltage stabilisers, over 46% of the cost is copper, according to analysts at Edelweiss. Air cooler major Symphony raised prices in January, long before the summer sun started to sting. Why will air conditioners be left behind? Blue Star, which raised prices by 5-8% in January, will push prices further up by another 3-5% from April, <a href="https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/industry/cons-products/durables/blue-star-to-increase-prices-in-first-week-of-april-md/articleshow/81648037.cms">Managing Director B Thiagarajan told the Economic Times on March 23</a>. A lot of dream homes were stalled by the pandemic and the lockdown. While the construction of these homes has resumed in full gusto, the cement needed to build these is at least 7-8% on average in the last one year.

But a big chunk of the rise may not land in their bank accounts ⁠— it will go into provident fund and gratuity contribution, instead⁠ — because the new labour codes would have kicked in from April 1. Of course, if the second wave triggers another economic crisis, many families may not even have the same amount of cushion from their past savings. In the last five years, the average annual household savings in India has grown 64%. However, in the same time, average household debt has increased 133%, according to the latest data from the RBI. None of this would be comforting for households staring at a limited income and an uncertain future.
