Bharti Airtel introduced a recharge pack priced at Rs 129 recently. Under this Airtel prepaid recharge, subscribers get 28 GBs or gigabytes of mobile data at 4G speed, among other benefits, for a validity period of 28 days. The new recharge pack from Bharti Airtel - the provider of telecom services under brand Airtel - comes amid intense competition among companies in the country's telecom sector. Highly competitive pricing of 4G speed data by new entrant Reliance Jio has forced many telecom operators to come up with new plans. Airtel currently offers several prepaid recharge packs with a validity period of 28 days.
Here are some of those recharge packs:
