Bharti Airtel Chairman Sunil Mittal has termed the tariffs announced by Reliance Jio as unsustainable.
Speaking to select media on the sidelines of the Mobile World Congress, Mittal said the situation would ease when RJio attains scale.
"I think this situation will ease when RJIo gets some scale. The good news is that they have eventually announced plans to charge from April. But to our mind, the pricing is still unsustainable to give 1 GB a day. Eventually, this industry needs to have a return on capital deployed, or else investments in future networks will slow down, Mittal said.
RJio has announced that it would give free data and voice services for Rs 303 a month with a daily cap of 1GB data. This, after having given free services since September.
