Airtel profit rises fivefold, revenue misses estimates
Hindustan Times Amritsar
|May 14, 2025
Bharti Airtel Ltd clocked a fivefold jump in March quarter profit thanks to a one-time gain, even as revenue per user, a key metric of profitability, remained flat.
NEW DELHI:
Net profit at India's second-largest telecom operator stood at ₹11,022 crore against ₹2,072 crore a year earlier, as it added a deferred tax benefit of ₹5,913 crore. However, compared to the December quarter when it gained from the Indus Towers consolidation, profit was 25.4% lower. Consolidated Q4 revenue of ₹47,876 crore was up 27.3% on-year and 6.1% on-quarter, driven by higher India business, revenue growth in Africa, and the full impact of Indus Towers consolidation.
