Bharti Airtel: Mobile Tariff Cuts Limited

Recently, it was speculated, by many mobile experts that roll out of new service providers and the upcoming mobile number portability (MNP) may lower the mobile tariffs further.

But in a press release, top officials of Bharti Airtel, India’s top mobile service provider said “does not expect the entry of new players in an already competitive market to drastically push down mobile tariffs”.

Sanjay Kapoor, the Deputy CEO of Bharti Airtel added

Tariffs as low as 1 U.S. cent a minute have helped Indian mobile operators add close to 15 million subscribers a month in the world’s fastest-growing mobile market, but analysts are becoming cautious on the mobile firms’ outlook as more low-paying rural users are straining their balance sheets.
These tariffs are already down to the (lowest) in the world, the propensity to drop any further should be limited

So, its just matter of time, that will enlighten whether mobile customers will witness further price cuts in mobile tariffs.
