Similarly, a 4G/3G data pack for Rs 22 which offers 65 MB data for 3 days will now give 90 MB 3G data for 3 days. Idea offers data packs starting from Rs. 8 and it goes up to Rs. 225.
“Internet is one of the major drivers of the Indian economy and Digital India. We want to ensure that benefits of Internet are reaped conveniently by every individual, through our innovative, customised and affordable products. This will enable the Internet revolution and its impact to be felt in every part of the country.”

The revised data packs are now available across all circles. Looks like the company wants to attract and retain users ahead of the Reliance Jio commercial launch.
