Videocon Telecom CEO and Director Arvind Bali said, "Conventionally, benefit of tariff cutters or special tariff vouchers is only given in the home network, and no operator has extended this kind of benefit with 50% straight drop to their customers while roaming,"

He further added, "We obviously will be bearing a cost for offering such proposition, but I feel this is an investment in the brand for long term returns."
