Mobile Users Face Shocking News: Jio and Airtel to Increase Prices from December 1, 2025

India is a fast‑growing country, and many changes are happening across different sectors. From IT to big companies, development is becoming common. In this context, two important updates have come to light — the rise of a new multi‑sector company and a major change in the telecom industry.

Jio and Airtel to Increase Prices from December 1, 2025

New Generation Company Expands Services:

A new company has entered the market with the aim of keeping traditional values while embracing modern business opportunities. It is expanding into many fields such as media, hospitals, organic food, financial consultancy, renewable energy, trade, advisory services, and asset management. The company wants to bring innovation and trust together, showing the path for future growth in India.

Jio and Airtel Price Hike from December 1, 2025:

Turning to telecom, India’s leading companies Jio and Airtel are preparing to increase mobile recharge prices by 10–12% starting December 1, 2025. This hike will affect both prepaid and postpaid plans.

For example:

  • The ₹199 recharge plan will become ₹222.
  • The ₹899 long‑validity pack will rise to ₹1006.

This is the first major price hike after 2024. Both companies have already removed entry‑level packs, pushing customers toward higher‑value plans.

Why the Price Hike?

Telecom experts say this change is part of a “tariff repair” strategy. After years of very cheap data plans, companies now want to adjust prices to match real costs. Jio and Airtel argue that stable income is needed to build 

5G networks, fiber connections, spectrum payments, and infrastructure development:

Jio reported its average revenue per user (ARPU) at ₹211.4 in the last quarter, slightly higher than ₹208.8 earlier. While the company says there is no immediate plan for further hikes, it has adopted the view of “use more, pay more happily.” Analysts also believe Jio’s upcoming IPO expectations may encourage higher tariffs.

This price hike will directly affect daily expenses for millions of mobile users. Customers will now have to decide which plans to use and whether they are ready for the increased costs.
