Though the company hasn’t yet announced specific figures, its press release includes an email screenshot detailing an individual rise from €10.99 to €11.99 per month from September on.
It doesn’t specify which country this letter applies to, or indeed which specific countries will be impacted by the price rise.
As per Digital Music News, however, India Today has signaled a 17% rise for Individuals (to Rs 139/$1.58 at present) and closer to 28% for Family (Rs 229 monthly/$2.61) in that territory.
