    In a filing with the BSE on November 22, Airtel said it has hiked its prepaid tariff rates by 20-25 percent effective from November 26. The rates are in line with its need to maintain the mobile Average Revenue Per User (ARPU) at Rs 200 and ultimately at Rs 300, “so as to provide a reasonable return on capital that allows for a financially healthy business model”, it added.
