Existing Airtel Customers Will Be Migrated
The revised plans are effective from October 8, 2026.
Existing Airtel postpaid customers will be moved to the nearest higher plan within one month of the new plans coming into effect.
The company has also said customers can upgrade to the new plans through the Airtel App or by visiting an Airtel Store.
