Following rate cuts by major operators Airtel and Idea Cellular, Vodafone Monday came out with promotional schemes offering up to 67 percent more data of 2G, 3G and 4G services at same price during this month.

The development comes within a fortnight after Airtel and Idea slashed data tarrifs.
"The Rs39 2G sachet pack with 5-day validity now offers 225MB data compared to 160 MB, an increase of 41 percent, while the Rs 12 3G/4G sachet pack with 1-day validity now offers 50 MB data vs 30MB, an increase of 67 percent," Vodafone said.

"With Vodafone Delights offering more data, we want our several million customers to enjoy this network experience to the fullest. We are confident that this move of offering up to 67 percent additional data benefit on select pre-paid packs, will facilitate in faster adoption of data," Vodafone India, Director-Commercial, Sandeep Kataria said.
Incumbents have triggered data war to ward off threat from Mukesh Ambani led Reliance Jio which slashed price of 4G LYF handsets by 25 percent to Rs 2,999.
The Lyf handset comes bundled free Jio SIM. Reliance Jio is offering 90 days of free unlimited 4G mobile Internet and voice calling in the SIM cards.
