Bharti Airtel has made a significant update to its postpaid offerings by extending unlimited data benefits to all its postpaid plans. This move comes at a time when data consumption in India is rapidly increasing, and it enhances Airtel’s value proposition for its customers. In the Kolkata circle, even the most basic postpaid plan now includes unlimited 4G and 5G data, allowing users to enjoy the internet without daily limits or extra charges.
Airtel Unlimited Data on Postpaid Plans
According to Airtel plan listings, every postpaid plan in Kolkata now offers unlimited data. The entry-level plan starts at ₹449, and it too now comes with unlimited data. However, there’s a fair usage cap of 300GB per month, as mentioned in Airtel’s terms. This limit is high enough that users can effectively consider it “unlimited,” removing concerns about exhausting daily or monthly data.
Aligning With 4G and 5G Expansion
Airtel’s strategy of providing unlimited data aligns with its ongoing expansion of 4G and 5G networks across the country. As 5G coverage grows, the network is better equipped to handle increasing data demand and offer a seamless experience to users.
Regional Availability and Competition
Currently, the unlimited data benefit is confirmed only for the Kolkata circle, and it is unclear when or if it will be extended nationwide. Airtel faces competition from Vodafone Idea (Vi), which has also updated its postpaid plans to include unlimited data. For example, Vi’s ₹551 plan offers similar benefits, making the postpaid segment more competitive for consumers.
Customer Benefits
Offering unlimited data without a price increase is a welcome move for Airtel customers, especially for its large and loyal user base. As telecom operators continue to upgrade networks and plans, users stand to gain from more data, better coverage, and increased overall value.
