NEW DELHI: Idea Cellular on Monday announced up to 67% reduction in 4G and 3G mobile internet rates to compete with rival Bharti Airtel and ward off threat from Reliance Jio. Airtel recently announced up to 67% cut in 4G and 3G mobile internet packs for pre-paid customers. Last week, Rel Jio claimed to have 1.5 million 4G subscribers even before its commercial launch. The SIM card of Rel Jio comes bundled with LYF smartphones at ₹2,999. Jio is offering 90 days of free unlimited 4G internet and voice calling. Idea had last week reduced prices by 45% for light mobile internet users (below 1 GB).
