No major 5G tariff hike in India: Ind-Ra

New Delhi: India’s 5G subscriber count is seen rising several notches to 20-25 per cent of the overall base in one year, but though telcos are in a “better position” to execute tariff increase, actual visibility on a “meaningful” increase remains uncertain, Ind-Ra said.

According to India Ratings and Research (Ind-Ra), this is because globally too 5G has not yielded any major tariff premium over 4G rates. The use cases of 5G in India are still limited to applications such as video streaming and multi-person video calls. The Fitch Group company, in its telecom outlook FY25 has maintained a neutral outlook on the sector for the current fiscal.
