Bharti Airtel quietly removed its ₹549 individual postpaid plan in July 2026. It no longer appears on Airtel's website or in the Airtel Thanks app, and Airtel has not made an announcement. The ₹449 entry plan remains, and customers already on ₹549 are expected to keep their benefits.
Key facts
- Noticed: mid-July 2026
- ₹449 entry-level postpaid plan still available
- Existing ₹549 users expected to keep current benefits
- Next tier: ₹699 (most reports describe it as a family plan with one add-on SIM)
What is the ₹699 plan?
Reports differ. Most describe ₹699 as a family plan with one main SIM and one add-on SIM. One report describes a ₹699 individual option with Amazon Prime Mobile for six months and JioHotstar Mobile for a year. Check Airtel's website for the current plan details before switching.
What it means for retailers
Customers who wanted a mid-level individual postpaid plan now have to choose between ₹449 and ₹699. For many, the ₹699 family plan with an add-on SIM is the natural pitch.
