Airtel plans at a glance
The table above lists 12 popular Airtel prepaid plans. All include unlimited calls. The cheapest is ₹199 (28 days, 2 GB total); the lowest cost for 30 days of service is the ₹2,249 plan at about ₹185 for 30 days.
Picking an Airtel plan
- Mostly calls: Airtel's low-data plans (2–3 GB for 28 days, 6–7 GB for 77–84 days, 30 GB for a year) cost far less than daily-data plans.
- Daily data: 1.5 GB or 2 GB a day for 28 days, or 2 GB a day for 84 days; the 2 GB/day plans include unlimited 5G where available.
- A year at once: two 365-day plans with daily data, plus a low-data one.
Recharge in the Airtel Thanks app, Airtel's website, or any UPI app.
Before you recharge
- Recharge only through the operator's app or website, a UPI app or your bank — never through a link in an SMS or WhatsApp message promising a "free recharge" or a huge discount. Those links steal UPI PINs and card details.
- Check the plan in your own circle: some plans and prices differ by state.
- "Unlimited" data has a daily limit: after your daily quota, speed usually drops to about 64 kbps until midnight.
- Unlimited 5G comes only on plans the operator names, and only where its 5G network reaches you and your phone supports it.
