Ajai Puri, Director Operations (India & South Asia), Bharti Airtel said, “At Airtel, we are focused on providing great value to customers.

The Rs. 1,495 4G plan for 30GB, works out to just under Rs. 50 per GB for 90 days, with a usage limit of 30GB, after which the unlimited 2G usage starts which is exactly the same amount that the newly launch Reliance Jio 4G network has, 20GB of data for Rs. 1,499, which has 28 days validity.

After users complete their 30GB of data, they will get access to low-speed data corresponding to 2G speeds for the remaining period with this the customers can stay online round the clock without worrying about exhausting their data limits or going for frequent recharges.
