Mind it, the data prices in India are all set to crash soon.
Thanks to the upcoming super saver tariff plans like operator Reliance Jio.
With this plan, the Reliance Industries Company can get 4G services one can
avail 10 GB plan for mere 600 for a month. So, comparing with the other big
players like Bharti Airtel that charges Rs 1,350 for a 10 GB Plan for its 4G
data and the Vodafone Plan for the same worth Rs 1,500, it is inevitable to
claim that Reliance rocks on the top not just beating the two players but also
like Ideal Cellular, which despite trying something similar like 1GB plan for
free for the pre-registered subscribers in 180 cities in India seems to be
lagging behind with Reliance.
One of the key impediments to get the success for the
non-Jio players would be the fixation of their prices for keeping them high.
Currently, one of the cheapest prices that comes for the 4G data is the brand
of Vodafone for its 20 GB pack, which comes at the cost of Rs 2,500, which
tends to give a figure of Rs 125 per GB. Now comparing it with Jio, it comes at
a cost of 25 GB for about Rs 1,000, which means it can cost Rs 40 per GB.
Once again the top three big
operators have now come up against such kind of disruptive pricing by Mukesh
Ambani when he was seen launching the Reliance India Mobile that offered the call
rates of 40 paise per minute against the said prevailing tariff of Rs 2.50 per
minute.
However, the Ambani’s RIM was able
to meet with limited success rate owing to the fact that the handsets
compatible with its network cost of around 6,000 to 10,000 at the time and
consumers had seen practically no kind of CDMA devices before the said network
was launched.
| Tariff | Data |
| 1 GB | |
| 3 GB | |
| 6 GB | |
| 10 GB | |
| 25 GB | |
| 100 GB | |
That is unlikely to prove the so called big
impediment in any data play that comes at the dongle prices going extremely lower.
For instance, the Bharti Airtel is seen selling its MiFi device along with a WIFI
and rechargeable battery at a cost worth Rs. 1,500 for 10 GB of 4G data free
with it. However, for heavy use you need another device, which comes at a cost
of an additional amount 150. The Mukesh Ambani Company is all set to steal the
show with such a lucrative deal.
