Reliance Jio may increase tariffs in January 2018: Goldman Sachs

According to the new report by US-based brokerage firm Goldman Sachs, Mukesh Ambani owned Reliance Jio is likely to increase tariffs in January 2018 and may continue the same for few months.

 

The firm said that Jio is expected to reduce its validity period of the Rs 309 offer to 28 days from 49 days by 2018.

Meanwhile, it expects that India's largest telecom operator Bharti Airtel will be in an enviable position to grab market share and grow profits.

However, there are chances that Airtel's home broadband and enterprise may feel some pressure as the former is planning to enter the enterprise segment.
