Airtel discontinues multiple popular prepaid plans, including the Rs 299 plan, and customers are now directed to available alternatives with different prices and benefits. Reports also mention the removal of several other plan tiers, including Rs 579, Rs 619, and Rs 649, though the exact remaining option for each former plan varies by current availability.
The move comes as India’s telecom sector faces ongoing expectations of further tariff changes. NDTV frames the discontinuations as part of a broader pattern in which operators adjust prepaid offerings, while India Today focuses on the price changes and what customers pay for the newly available plans.
Across outlets, the common point is that Airtel ends specific prepaid plan options and that users must switch to the currently listed plans to continue services. Neither source indicates a change in postpaid pricing or service availability tied directly to the discontinued prepaid bundles.
