Bharti Airtel raises its postpaid tariffs by ₹50 from October 8, 2026, while revamping plans to include a complimentary international roaming benefit once every year. Multiple outlets report the offer is available on eligible Airtel postpaid plans in India and can be claimed by customers of both new and existing plans, with eligible family plan members also receiving the roaming advantage.
The new roaming pack includes 5GB of data, 60 minutes of calls, 25 outgoing SMS, and free incoming SMS, and is valid for five days. Airtel says customers can activate the pack when they choose. Reporting also highlights that Airtel positions the rest of the revamped postpaid portfolio as including existing benefits such as network and spam/fraud protection and access to entertainment subscriptions and experiences.
Some outlets focus on the pricing change and how existing subscribers will be moved to the nearest higher plan within about a month, while others emphasize the intent behind the move—such as improving value for customers and supporting business metrics like average revenue per user (ARPU).
