Indian Telecom Market Ripe for Next Round of Price Hikes. Mobile users in India should prepare for another bump in their monthly bills. According to a Q1FY27 sector preview report by Centrum Institutional Research, the country’s telecom industry is projected to implement a 12% to 15% tariff hike over the next three to four months.
The report highlights that intense market consolidation has created a far more favorable pricing environment for operators. With fewer players dominating the landscape, service providers have stronger leverage to adjust prices upward, signaling a shift toward revenue recovery and stabilized market growth.
