Also, Rs 79 recharge pack will offer double the benefits of the existing plan. It now offers Rs 128 worth of call time (local/STD at 60 paise per minute) and 200MB data valid for 28 days.
Airtel says that the announcement related to free calls and data benefits are worth Rs 270 crore and will help close to 55 million low-income subscribers. The beneficiary is identified based on average revenue per user (ARPU).
