Key Highlights

Large subscriber base allows Bharti Airtel to maintain competitive position
Bharti Airtel leverages on its growing subscriber base to maintain its competitive edge over its peers. Its total customer base has increased significantly over the past few years, from 286.2 million in 2015 to 308.3 million in 2016. In terms of its subscriber base, it holds first position in India and third position globally.

Weak competitive position in the fixed segment
The company has a weak competitive position in fixed segment. Although Airtel reported an increase of 4.4% during 2012-2016, it lags behind major competitor, BSNL, which has subscriptions of 23.7 million in 2016. Airtel’s weak competitive position is due to the strong brand image of BSNL, coupled with the entry of smaller players in fixed telecom market

Growing data use to drive revenues
Increased smartphone adoption and improved network coverage, particularly in rural areas that are traditionally underserved by fixed-line infrastructure, have driven strong increases in mobile data consumption in India. The growth in demand for newer technologies, including 3G and 4G, has also led to a sharp increase in data consumption across the country
