New Delhi Feb. 14 Bharti Airtel Ltd on Wednesday announced a cut in domestic mobile roaming tariffs and scrapped the rental for roaming services with effect from Thursday, in line with telecom regulator Telecom Regulatory Authority of India's guidelines issued last month.

The charges for receiving incoming calls on roaming would come down to Rs 1.75 per minute and that for making STD calls to Rs 2.40 per minute. The current charge for receiving incoming calls and making STD calls while roaming is Rs 3.54-3.99 per minute, the statement said. The monthly rental of Rs 49 has also been done away with, it said, adding the outgoing SMS while roaming would now cost Rs 2, from the Rs 3.45 being charged at present.

The tariff reduction is in line with pricing changes ordered by the TRAI in January, under which a reduction in roaming tariff of up to 56 per cent had been stipulated for operators, besides an abolition of roaming rental charges and surcharge on national roaming services.
