Airtel Business

Bharti Airtel is in talks to acquire Tata Play direct to home (DTH) service which is currently said to be a loss-making business, according to a report. This move will reportedly strengthen Airtel’s presence in the digital TV segment, facing competition from the likes of D2H and DishTV.

Among the 30 Sensex firms, Bharti Airtel, NTPC, Mahindra & Mahindra, JSW Steel, Adani Ports, State Bank of India, Tech Mahindra, Tata Steel, Larsen & Toubro and Kotak Mahindra Bank were the biggest gainers.

Bharti Global, the international investment arm of Bharti Enterprises, will acquire about 24.5 per cent stake in BT Group from Altice UK, according to a release on Monday.

Loss-making telecom operator Vodafone Idea will raise mobile tariffs across the board by 11-24 per cent from July 4, according to a company statement.

Bharti Airtel, India's No.2 telecom operator by subscribers, has spent Rs 6,857 crore to acquire spectrum at a government auction in the world's second-largest smartphone market, it said on Wednesday.

The top five companies by market capitalisation are Reliance Industries Limited, Tata Consultancy Services Limited, HDFC Bank Limited, ICICI Bank Limited, and Bharti Airtel Limited, as per NSE.

Tariffs in the Indian telecom industry are at an "absurdly low level" compared to other parts of the world, Bharti Airtel Managing Director Gopal Vittal said on Wednesday as he strongly advocated "tariff repair" to lift return ratios.

The Chief Executive Officer of Bharti Airtel's enterprise arm Airtel Business, Ajay Chitkara, has resigned from the company, according to a filing.

Bharti Airtel expects to complete the 5G rollout in urban areas and some key rural pockets this year and expects the investment in networks to hover around Rs. 28,500 crore, a senior official of the company said on Wednesday.

Benchmark equity indices pared their opening gains and declined in early trade on Tuesday, dragged down by index major HDFC twins.

Telecom operator Bharti Airtel overtook Reliance Jio in 5G roll-out with the expansion of the network to additional 235 cities, taking its total reach to 500 cities.

With this largest-ever such roll out by the telco, Airtel 5G Plus service is now available to customers in over 265 cities in the country, according to a release by the company.

Telecommunications services provider Bharti Airtel on Thursday announced that it crossed the 1-million unique 5G user mark on its network in Mumbai. Mumbai was one among the first eight cities to get ultrafast Airtel 5G Plus, it added.

Both Reliance Jio and Bharti Airtel have been rolling out a 5G network across the country. However, debt-ridden Vodafone Idea is awaiting fund raise post which it will infuse capital for rolling out 5G services.

China's Ant Group and Japan's SoftBank Group Corp have discussed selling stake in One 97 Communications, which operates Indian digital payments firm Paytm, through a block deal, the Economic Times newspaper reported today.
