Jio vs Airtel vs Vodafone: Best Recharge Packs Under Rs. 600 You Can Get

Jio, Airtel and Vodafone are locked in an intense battle for pole position in the telecom sector. While Airtel is the market leader, Vodafone and Idea will leapfrog it to become the biggest entity in the industry once their merger goes through. However, Jio is at their heels too, amassing more than 160 million users and becoming profitable in less than 18 months of launching public operations. The three telcos have been consistently offering prepaid plans with generous daily data allocations, but the recent changes in their tariffs have brought down the prices to just Rs. 149 for roughly 40GB of data. We take a look at the top plans with at least 1GB data per day offered by Jio, Airtel and Vodafone at the moment.
