Abstract:

This case study helps in understanding the concepts of Price strategy and different degrees of Price Discrimination, in the Microeconomics course. Against the backdrop of the swift growth of the telecom industry in India backed by privatization since 1991, new players are emerging, making the telecom field a combat zone. The case study explains the pricing strategy of Uninor, a new entrant. It captures the growth of Uninor and the effectiveness of its "24X7 Badalta Discount Plan" launched in late 2009. The case revolves around the potency of Uninor's weapon over other giant players in both the short run and long run, and the likely response of the existing players. The case enables the students to deal with the following objectives.
