Bharti Airtel Reports 31% Profit Rise and 17% Revenue Growth in Q2 FY27
Bharti Airtel reported a 31% year-on-year rise in net profit to approximately Rs 8,888 crore for Q2 FY27, with consolidated revenue increasing 16.7% to around Rs 60,878 crore. The company saw strong growth in India and Africa, driven by subscriber additions, higher average revenue per user (ARPU) of Rs 271, and expansion in broadband and enterprise services. EBITDA rose 18% year-on-year to Rs 35,240 crore. Despite beating revenue and EBITDA estimates, net profit slightly missed market expectations. Airtel's strategic focus on premiumization and technology rollout supported its performance.
