The company has increased the price of one of its most popular prepaid plans and removed a cheaper option completely. The company has increased the price of one of its popular prepaid plans. The plan which was earlier available for Rs 859, is now available for Rs 899. Besides, the Rs 799 plan has also been removed.<\/p>\n<p>Till now Airtel had a popular plan of Rs 859 with a validity of 84 days. But now its price has been increased to Rs 899. The company has discontinued the Rs 799 plan with validity of 74 days.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What has changed in the plan?<\/strong><br \/>Now Airtel&#8217;s Rs 899 &#8216;Truly Unlimited&#8217; plan gives 84 days validity to the users. It offers 1.5 GB data per day, unlimited calling (local, STD and roaming) and 100 SMS every day. After the data is exhausted, the internet speed reduces to 64 Kbps.<\/p>\n<ul class=\"ul_block\">\n<li>Unlimited calls (Local, STD, Roaming all)<\/li>\n<li>100 SMS daily<\/li>\n<li>1.5GB data daily (up to 84 days)<\/li>\n<li>Speed \u200b\u200blimited to 64 Kbps after data is exhausted<\/li>\n<li>Validity: 84 days (about 3 months)<\/li>\n<li>Adobe Express Premium (12 months)<\/li>\n<li>Spam call and SMS alerts<\/li>\n<li>Free Hellotunes (Can change one tune every 30 days.)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>What was available earlier, what is missing now?<\/strong><br \/>Earlier, the Rs 859 plan also offered some extra benefits, like RewardsMini subscription, which provided cashback of up to Rs 80 every month. But currently this benefit is not visible in the new Rs 899 plan. However, features like Adobe Express Premium (12 months), spam call alert and free Hellotune are still available.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What does it mean for users?<\/strong><br \/>After this change, if a user wants to take a daily data plan of 84 days, now the entry level price has become Rs 899, that is, the options with longer validity at lower prices have become more expensive than before.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Airtel&#8217;s market cap increased the most among top-10 companies last week.<\/strong><br \/>Let us tell you that last week the total market cap of 8 out of the top 10 most valuable companies of Sensex increased by Rs 1,87,497.45 crore. Bharti Airtel was the biggest beneficiary in this. During this period, the market valuation of Bharti Airtel increased by Rs 58,831.52 crore to Rs 11,25,125.21 crore.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"jsx-5d5943d0494ab899 atawrap\">\n<h2 class=\"jsx-5d5943d0494ab899 atahead\">About the Author<\/h2>\n<div class=\"jsx-5d5943d0494ab899 atadetailwrp\">\n<div class=\"jsx-5d5943d0494ab899 ataname\"><span class=\"jsx-5d5943d0494ab899 atthumb\"><\/p>\n<figure class=\"jsx-5d5943d0494ab899\">\n<div style=\"min-height:52px;margin:0\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/images.news18.com\/ibnkhabar\/uploads\/2025\/10\/vkjha-photo-2025-10-d11446fdb1582c20fe5fb80950cf5841.jpg?impolicy=website&amp;width=52&amp;height=52\" alt=\"authoring\" title=\"authoring\" width=\"52\" height=\"52\" class=\"\"\/><\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"jsx-5d5943d0494ab899 attitle\"><a href=\"https:\/\/hindi.news18.com\/byline\/vinoy-jha-1533.html\" class=\"jsx-5d5943d0494ab899 atamail\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Vinay Kumar Jha<\/a><\/p>\n<p>After starting his career in print media, he has been working as a senior copy editor in News18Hindi for the last 8 years.
