Use Vodafone Idea number? ALERT! Pay more from this date! Company says will hike rates

Vodafone Idea Ltd (VIL) on Monday said that it will "suitably increase the prices of its tariffs" from December 1. "The acute financial stress in the telecom sector has been acknowledged by all stakeholders and a high level Committee of Secretaries (CoS) headed by the Cabinet Secretary is looking into providing appropriate relief," the company said.

Mobile data charges in India are by far the cheapest in the world even as the demand for mobile data services continue to grow rapidly, the company said.
