India's telecom regulator said it would allow carriers to offer free nationwide mobile roaming to subscribers for a fixed fee from July 1, in a partial relief to operators, some of whom had opposed a proposal to completely abolish roaming charges.
Outgoing local call charges, while on roaming, will be capped at Rs. 1.00 per minute from Rs. 1.40 earlier, while outgoing STD charges, while on national roaming, have been capped to Rs. 1.50 from Rs.2.40 per minute earlier.
The ceiling tariffs for incoming calls while on national roaming have been reduced from Rs. 1.75 per minute to 75 paise per minute, TRAI said. Outgoing local SMS-es will cost Rs. 1.00, while outgoing STD SMS will cost Rs. 1.50 from July 1. Incoming SMS will remain free of charge.
