India’s third-largest telecom company Bharti Airtel, which was badly hurt by the ongoing price war unleashed by Reliance Jio Infocomm, sprang a surprise by posting a net profit of 1.07 billion rupees (US$15.44 million) for the fourth quarter ended March 2019, beating analysts’ expectations.
During this quarter the company benefited from a one-time gain of 20.22 billion rupees ($29.17 million) and from its growth in the domestic wireless business. On a sequential basis, Bharti Airtel’s revenue from the domestic wireless business grew 4.1% to 106.32 billion rupees ($1.53 billion).
In this quarter Airtel lost its second position to Reliance Jio, while Vodafone Idea continued to be India’s largest telco.
The company reported consolidated revenue of 206.02 billion rupees ($2.97 billion), up 6.2% from the same quarter last financial year.
However, the annual profit fell 63% to 4.09 billion rupees ($59 million) for the year ended March 31 from 10.99 billion rupees ($15.85 million) in the previous year.
The September 2016 launch of low-cost tariff plans by Reliance Jio Infocomm, owned by India’s richest man, Mukesh Ambani, forced rivals to drop their rates, hurting profit margins.
Smaller companies were forced to either close shop or get acquired, leaving just Airtel, Jio and the merged entity of Vodafone and Idea, apart from state-owned BSNL, to compete in the Indian market.

Hey there! Do you know if they make any plugins to assist
with SEO? I’m trying to get my blog to rank for some targeted keywords but I’m not
seeing very good gains. If you know of any please share.
Appreciate it!
I am now not positive where you’re getting your information, but good topic.
I needs to spend some time finding out more or understanding more.
Thanks for great information I was in search of this info for my mission.
Today, I went to the beach with my kids. I found a sea shell and gave it to my 4 year old
daughter and said “You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear.” She placed the shell to her ear and screamed.
There was a hermit crab inside and it pinched her ear. She never wants
to go back! LoL I know this is entirely off topic
but I had to tell someone!
Having read this I thought it was rather enlightening.
I appreciate you finding the time and effort to put
this information together. I once again find myself personally spending a lot of time both reading and leaving comments.
But so what, it was still worth it!
With havin so much written content do you ever run into any issues
of plagorism or copyright violation? My website has a
lot of unique content I’ve either authored myself or outsourced
but it looks like a lot of it is popping it up all over the internet without my agreement.
Do you know any solutions to help prevent content
from being ripped off? I’d genuinely appreciate it.
I’m not sure why but this website is loading incredibly slow for me.
Is anyone else having this problem or is it a problem on my
end? I’ll check back later on and see if the problem still exists.
Hi, i read your blog from time to time and i own a similar one and i was
just wondering if you get a lot of spam comments?
If so how do you reduce it, any plugin or anything you can recommend?
I get so much lately it’s driving me mad so any support is very much appreciated.
Incredible points. Solid arguments. Keep up the good spirit.
Excellent site you have here but I was curious if you knew of any forums that cover the same topics discussed here?
I’d really love to be a part of community where I can get advice
from other experienced individuals that share the same interest.
If you have any recommendations, please let me know.
Appreciate it!

Unquestionably believe that which you stated.
Your favorite justification appeared to be on the internet the easiest thing to be aware of.

, people can take a signal. Will likely be back

You really make it seem really easy with your presentation but I to find this matter to be actually something that I think I’d
