Mumbai: The leading telecommunications company in the country, Jio, will raise mobile service charges by 12-27 percent starting July 3. Additionally, customers will no longer have unlimited access to free 5G services.

Akash Ambani, chairman of Reliance Jio Infocomm, stated that introducing new plans will help advance industry innovation and promote sustainable growth by investing in 5G and AI technology. The organization is also looking to hire new employees.

The company has increased prices for mobile services on nearly all of its plans. The cost of the cheapest recharge is increasing to Rs 19, which is approximately 27% more than the Rs 15 for a 1 GB data add-on pack. The price of the 75 GB postpaid data plan will increase to Rs 449 from Rs 399.

Jio has increased the cost of the well-liked Rs 666 unlimited plan, which comes with an 84-day validity, by roughly 20 percent to Rs 799. Costs of the yearly recharge options will see a 20-21 percent rise from Rs 1,559 to Rs 1,899, and from Rs 2,999 to Rs 3,599.

The increase in the rates for medium-range mobile service plans will range from 19 to 21 percent. All plans with 2GB per day or more will now have access to unlimited 5G data. The updated plans will go into effect on July 3, 2024, and can be chosen from any current touchpoints and channels.

Currently, customers who have plans costing more than Rs 239 can enjoy unlimited free 5G service, while other customers need to add extra credit to their plan for access.
