News Rise of tariffs for call drops fine

[Technoglitch]

Indian telecom companies have warned that they will be forced to increase tariffs if they have to compensate subscribers for call drops. Mobile phone operators said they will not be able to bear the additional cost of compensation and will need to pass it on.

Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) had earlier asked telecom operators to compensate mobile phone subscribers Re 1 for every call drop, capped at three call drops per day, with effect from 1 January, 2016.


"Any increase in operation costs, of which penalties are a part, puts upward pressure on tariffs. The final impact of the actual tariff is subject to the competitive landscape," Rajan S Mathews, Director General of Cellular Operations Association of India (COAI) India, told The Economic Times.
