Synopsis
Analysts expect Bharti Airtel and Reliance Jio to offset any potential slowdown in user adds by garnering higher data revenues, and also expanding their home broadband user base. This, since overall data consumption levels are likely to surge again during lockdowns with people again largely going back to working from home.
“Vi would be the most vulnerable,” in such a scenario, given its weaker balance sheet.
The latest Covid spike and select lockdowns is likely to slow down mobile user adds in the April-June quarter, FY22, and delay the much-awaited tariff hikes by at least three-to-six months, say analysts.

Analysts expect Bharti Airtel and Reliance Jio to offset any potential slowdown in subscriber additions by garnering higher data revenue and expanding their home broadband user base as people once again go back to largely working from home.

The latest spike in Covid cases and select restrictions in force in various places are likely to slow down mobile user additions in the April-June quarter and delay tariff increases by three to six months, analysts said. Such a scenario could leave struggling Vodafone Idea (Vi) even more vulnerable to bigger user losses in the quarter, they said.

Synopsis
These indirect methods, they said, could involve making the plan value of all prepaid packs, pre-tax, which would require a prepaid mobile user to pay the tax in addition to the plan MRP value. Such a move would automatically hike effective tariffs sharply, they added.
Agencies
At present, all prepaid mobile plans have a composite value, inclusive of taxes.
Vodafone Idea and Bharti Airtel are likely to resort to indirect methods to raise effective tariffs – without touching headline rates and boost average revenue per user (ARPU) amid market leader Reliance Jio’s continued pricing aggression, say industry executives and analysts.
