Reliance Jio, the telecom arm of Reliance Industries, has introduced an unlimited domestic post-paid plan for Rs 199 and international calling at Rs 0.50 per minute. Reliance Jio's entry into the telecom sector over an year ago had set off a brutal tariff war among operators as they drastically cut prices to compete with Jio's bottomed-out plans. The launch of this new postpaid offer of RJio was taken well by investors of Bharti Airtel and Idea Cellular, which is why, the two telcos saw their share price tumbling by over 8% last week. Meanwhile, the newly launched Postpaid plan of RJio is applicable for both new as well as existing customers.
