As per the plan, the company will charge 1 paise per second for all local and STD calls for its prepaid customers in Delhi and NCR, it said in a statement.     

To avail this offer the existing customers of Vodafone have to do a one time recharge of Rs 55. This offer is also available for the new customers with recharge of Rs 54, it added.     

Earlier, Bharti Airtel, Aircel and Reliance Communications had announced the per-second tariff, intensifying the competition between operators.     

Per-second billing was first started by the entry of Tata DoCoMo in June. Vodafone had already introduced per second billing in some circles earlier this month.     

Sanjay Warke, chief executive officer, Vodafone Essar– Delhi said, "Vodafone has always catered to the specific requirements of its customers. This recharge will enable our customers to enjoy calling their loved ones at an affordable call rate."
