Following in the footsteps of other telecom service providers, Tata Docomo has decided to cut its 2G and 3G data rates by 90 percent effective from July 1, the company said here Tuesday.

"This will increase data penetration across segments and a 90 percent discount will serve as a customer friendly yet clear differentiator for our customers," Gurinder Singh Sandhu, head of marketing, Tata Docomo, said in a statement.

This will be applicable in all 19 circles where it provides services.

The revised tariffs will be applicable on 2G mobile internet packs offered by the company on recharging value of Rs.126 (2GB for 30 days), Rs.149 (2.5GB for 30 days) and Rs.249 (3GB for 60 days) and 3G data pack - Rs.255 (2GB for 30 days), the statement said.
