Bharti Airtel's Revenue Grows Amidst Profit Drop

In a recent financial report, Bharti Airtel announced a 55% decrease in net profit, totaling Rs 6,630.5 crore for the third quarter ending December 2025. The decline is attributed to heightened network operating costs, statutory fees, and increased employee expenses.

Despite this, the telecom giant saw a 19.6% rise in revenue from operations, reaching Rs 53,982 crore. The company's India mobile revenue grew by 9.1% due to better realizations and an expanding customer base, reflecting a strong market position amid competitive pressures.

Airtel's customer base surged, with a notable 11.8% increase overall, including a 12.6% rise in India and 10% in Africa. Executive Vice Chairman Gopal Vittal emphasized the strategic implementation of a homegrown digital stack as a key driver behind the company's robust performance, notably in its African sector.
