Apart from bringing the internet in these cities, the telecom operator is planning to increase data tariffs up to Rs. 100 per GB. This means that all prepaid plans will become costlier in the coming days as it wants to increase its ARPU by Rs. 300 in the next one year.

"We need a Rs 300 ARPU in which you will still have lower end at Rs 100 a month with decent amount of data. But if your consumption is largely around watching TV, movies, entertainment, and depriving other vital special services networks, then you need to pay for that," Bharti Airtel, Chairman recently said.
