Capital Expenditure Plans
- Capex in FY26 is elevated (~INR 6,500 crores YTD), driven by growth (tower and tenancy additions, upgrades, solar, batteries) and maintenance of aging towers.
- Growth capex is customer-driven via specific orders, including solar panels, smart meters, and lithium batteries.
- Capex expected to remain elevated for some time due to ongoing network expansion; a gradual easing anticipated over a 2-3 year horizon as growth moderates.
- Africa expansion is organic growth-focused, with initial capital likely debt-funded at subsidiary or holding levels (e.g., UAE or GIFT City).
- Capital investment approach is disciplined with robust controls, standardization of tower designs, efficient procurement, and optimization without compromising customer experience.
