Revenue & Sales Performance

Good growth
  • Mobile ARPU growth: Substantial headroom exists within the current customer base driven by data consumption upgrades, unlimited plans, and postpaid growth aided by innovations like Fast Lane technology. Mid-term growth expected without immediate tariff hikes; long-term pricing architecture repair needed for sustained growth.
  • Home broadband: Large opportunity remains, especially in top 1000 towns, with focus on high-quality customer acquisition, fiber acceleration, and precise FWA deployment. Converged fixed-mobile offerings expected to deepen customer relationships and reduce churn.
  • B2B segment: Strong growth expected with expansion in connectivity, cloud, data centers, and digital services (cybersecurity, IoT, CPaaS). Significant investments in infrastructure like fiber and data centers to fuel growth.

Capital Expenditure Plans

Capex planned
  • Annual capex likely around $4 billion, with moderated radio capex and small core capex.
  • Large part of capex focused on transport infrastructure including fiber rollout and homes segment.
  • Modest 5G standalone capex as it is largely software-based.
  • Rapid data center portfolio expansion from 120-130 MW to 1 gigawatt planned over next few years.
  • Data center build requires large land parcels; ongoing efforts to secure prime locations in Mumbai.
  • Cloud business investments increasing with modular investments aligned to customer demand.
  • External funding raised (e.g., $1 billion at Nxtra) to accelerate data center investments; future large capex may also involve external sponsorship.
