Reliance Jio announces mobile tariff hike: Full list of new plans and prices

Reliance Jio Infocomm Ltd, India’s largest telecom provider, announced a series of new unlimited plans that is set to take effect on July 3.

The company emphasised its commitment to affordable internet access and highlighted its rapidly expanding 5G network, which boasts nearly 85% of India’s operational 5G cells.

The new tariff plans range from Rs 189 for 2 GB per month to Rs 3,599 for 2.5 GB per day annual plan. These plans include unlimited 5G data for all plans with 2GB/day and above.

The company said its “True 5G” network is built on a standalone architecture that promises faster speeds and lower latency compared to non-standalone 5G networks. Unlimited 5G data would be applicable to plans offering 2GB/day or more.

Expanding its digital ecosystem, Jio announced the launch of two new applications: JioSafe and JioTranslate. JioSafe, priced at Rs 199 per month, offers secure calling, messaging, and file transfer. JioTranslate, priced at Rs 99 per month, is powered by artificial intelligence and enables multi-lingual communication by translating voice calls, messages, text, and images. Significantly, Jio is offering both applications free for a year to its users, further enhancing the value proposition of its services.

Airtel CEO Gopal Vittal's Letter to Industry Rivals: Key Insights for Jio, Vodafone-Idea, Tata Tele, and BSNL

Gopal Vittal, CEO of Bharti Airtel, has reached out to leaders of Reliance Jio, Vodafone Idea, Bharat Sanchar Nigam Ltd (BSNL), and Tata Teleservices with a proposal to enhance collaboration in combating Unsolicited Commercial Communications (UCC). In his letter, Vittal suggested creating a system for sharing information about corporate connections used for commercial calling to monitor and prevent misuse.

Vittal stated, “We are prepared to take the first step by sharing data (entity names and active numbers only) on a monthly basis using a standardized template. Your cooperation in this effort would be greatly appreciated.”

Addressed to Reliance Jio MD Pankaj Pawar, Vodafone Idea CEO Akshaya Moondra, BSNL CMD Robert Ravi, and Tata Teleservices MD Harjit Singh Chauhan, the letter highlights the telecom industry's ongoing struggle with UCC. Vittal noted, “Despite our current efforts, stronger and more unified mechanisms are essential to protect our customers from this ongoing issue,” referencing directives from TRAI and the Department of Telecommunications (DoT) aimed at addressing UCC effectively.

He concluded by emphasizing that “tackling this issue should be a collective effort among all telecom operators, rather than relying on isolated initiatives.”

India ranks 52nd in digital quality of life, mobile internet speed soars by 297% as per Surfshark

India ranks 52nd in digital quality of life, mobile internet speed soars by 297% as per Surfshark. The Digital Quality of Life Index is an annual study that ranks 121 countries by their digital wellbeing based on 5 core pillars. India’s internet quality is 36% higher than the global average The internet is affordable in India compared to other countries. India is 66th in the world in e-security — 6 places lower than last year Digital Quality of Life - India is 91st in e-infrastructure and 35th in e-government. Globally, the internet is more affordable than last year. Methodology Surfshark’s 5th annual Digital Quality of Life Index (DQL) ranks India 52nd in the world, up from 59th last year. The increase is largely due to the country’s surge in internet quality, for which it now ranks 16th. However, the country faced challenges in e-infrastructure, ranking 91st. As for the remaining pillars, India ranks 28th in internet affordability, 35th in e-government, and 66th in e-security. In the overall Index, India surpasses Bangladesh (82nd), but lags behind China (44th). In Asia, India takes 13th place, with Singapore the leader in the region. “In many nations, 'digital quality of life' has merged into the broader concept of overall 'quality of life'. There’s no other way to look at it now that so many daily activities, including work, education, and leisure, are done online. That’s why it’s crucial to pinpoint the areas in which a nation's digital quality of life thrives and where attention is needed, which is the precise purpose of the DQL Index” says Gabriele Racaityte-Krasauske, Surfshark's spokeswoman

India’s internet quality is 36% higher than the global average

- Fixed internet averages 76 Mbps in India. To put that into perspective, the world’s fastest fixed internet — Singapore's — is 300 Mbps. Meanwhile, the slowest fixed internet in the world — Yemen's — is 11 Mbps. - Mobile internet averages 74 Mbps. The fastest mobile internet — the UAE's — is 310 Mbps, while the world’s slowest mobile internet — Venezuela's — is 10 Mbps. India’s internet speeds may not be among the fastest in the world. But the country’s high ranking in the internet quality pillar is largely due to high internet stability and an excellent improvement in mobile internet speed. Since last year, mobile internet speed in India has improved by 297%, while fixed broadband speed has grown by 16%.

The internet is affordable in India compared to other countries.

- Indians have to work 1 hour 48 minutes a month to afford fixed broadband internet. While this is less than average, it is 6 times more than in Romania, which has the world’s most affordable fixed internet (Romanians have to work 18 minutes a month to afford it). - Indians have to work 44 minutes 22 seconds a month to afford mobile internet. This is 3 times more than in Luxembourg, which has the world’s most affordable mobile internet (Luxembourgers have to work 16 minutes a month to afford it).

India is 66th in the world in e-security — 6 places lower than last year

The e-security pillar measures how well a country is prepared to counter cybercrime, as well as how advanced a country’s data protection laws are. In this pillar, India outperforms Bangladesh (85th) and China (79th). But in the global context, India is unprepared to fight against cybercrime, and the country has very low data protection laws.

Digital Quality of Life - India is 91st in e-infrastructure and 35th in e-government.

Advanced e-infrastructure makes it easy for people to use the internet for various daily activities, such as working, studying, shopping, etc. This pillar evaluates how high internet penetration is in a given country, as well as its network readiness (readiness to take advantage of Information and Communication Technologies). India’s internet penetration is quite low (60% — 95th in the world), and the country ranks 59th in network readiness. The e-government pillar shows how advanced a government’s digital services are and the level of Artificial Intelligence (AI) readiness a country demonstrates. India’s e-government is above the global average.

Globally, the internet is more affordable than last year.

- Fixed internet is 11% more affordable than last year — on average, people have to work 42 minutes less a month to afford it. - Mobile internet is 26% more affordable than last year — people have to work 41 minutes less to afford it.

Methodology

The DQL Index 2023 examined 121 nations (92% of the global population) based on five core pillars that consist of 14 indicators. The study is based on the United Nations’ open-source information, the World Bank, and other sources. This year's study includes four more countries than DQL 2022, reaffirming Surfshark’s commitment to global representation. India’s full profile in the 2023 Digital Quality of Life report and an interactive country comparison tool can be found on SurfShark here. Read the full article
