The move will impact tariffs in all the existing slaps (RS 75-2,399). While Airtel and Vi went for a 25 per cent rise in their entry level slabs, Jio's  hiked the rate in this segment by around 21 per cent. Though companies, especially Airtel and Vi, had long been clamouring for a price revision, they were reluctant to take the first step for the fear of losing customers.
