Loss-making telecom operator Vodafone Idea will raise mobile tariffs across the board by 11%-24% from July 4, according to a company statement.

Vodafone Idea (Vi) follows the tariff hike stage set by Reliance Jio on Thursday.

Reliance Jio and Bharti Airtel will roll out increased mobile service rates from July 3 onward.

"In line with its commitment to provide its consumers with simple and comprehensive plans, Vi has curated an optimum range of feature-rich plans to meet the diverse needs of its consumers. Staying true to its philosophy of supporting entry-level users and progressively linking higher prices to increased usage, changes in entry-level plans are nominal," Vi said.

The company has raised the entry-level plan, minimum recharge value for 28 days of mobile service, by about 11% to ₹199 from ₹179.

Vi has raised the price of a popular 84-day validity plan with 1.5 GB data per day to ₹859 from ₹719 earlier.

The company has increased the price of its annual unlimited plan by about 21% to ₹3,499 from ₹2,899 at present.

It has made no change in its 365 validity plan with a 24 GB data limit, which costs users ₹1,799.

"Vi is planning significant investments over the next few quarters to further enhance the 4G experience as well as launch 5G services," the statement said.
