On the other hand, Vodafone has guided to spend between INR 500bn and 550bn on network expansion over the next three years after finally raising new equity.

Indian Mobile Q3 FY24 review: Still tracking well even without tariff...
India’s telecom industry continue to grow in the HSD, with Bharti and Jio improving at the expense of VIL. Industry ARPU tracked MSD again even without any meaningful tariff hikes; we expect increases to be put through in 2H CY24 though that has largely been priced in. EBITDA continue to trend ahead of topline, with YoY margins improvement across the board. Earlier last month, the government also approved the auction for 10,523 MHz of spectrum which starts from INR 963bn (USD 11.6bn). However, w...

Indian Mobile Q2 FY24 review: Core mobile still decent, with margin i...
India’s telecom industry continue to grow in the HSD, with Bharti outperforming on mobile service revenue growth on a YoY basis again. Whilst Jio posted better net additions, its ARPU trend was softer. Bharti’s Enterprise business did slow down however, largely a function of the deferred spending by global OTT players driven by current global macro.

New Street: Indian Mobile What to expect in 2023: Enterprise drives g...
Bharti has performed extremely well over the last 2 years. While we remain bullish, we think that some of the near term upside is priced in, especially on the consumer mobile side. We stay bullish long term but having had a good run into the end of the year, we expect the stock to take a breather in the near term.

New Street: The 5G FWA Opportunity for EM Connecting a billion homes
There are c. 1bn homes that lack broadband globally, the vast majority of which are in Emerging Markets. Broadband today reminds us of mobile in 2000 ahead of the 2G EM bonanza, with penetration high in DM & low in EM and most analysts predicting this to remain the case for many years. But 5G FWA dramatically improves cost to serve, and will likely therefore significantly upscale demand for broadband in EM.
