According to Bharti Airtel MD and CEO, India & South Asia, Gopal Vittal, the battle among telecom operators is now for market share and the pressure on tariff will continue for some time even though it is at an unsustainable level at present.

Earlier, Airtel revised its prepaid plans priced at Rs 199, Rs 448, and Rs 509 to offer 1.4GB of 3G/4G data daily. Previously, these three Airtel prepaid plans came with 1GB data per day limit.
