Bharti Airtel ARPU Starts to Decline Again
The first thing to note in the Bharti Airtel quarterly report is the subscriber base of the company which has gone up quarter-on-quarter by 0.9%, but has a total negative YoY fall of 15% over the previous numbers. This is a piece of good news for the Sunil Bharti Mittal led telecom operator, as one of the major issues which the company was facing was of the churn of subscribers porting to other networks in the latter half of the last FY. Speaking of which, the monthly churn of Bharti Airtel has also come down to 2.1% from the previous churn rate of 2.6%. Coming to the most important parameter of all, ARPU, this is where Bharti Airtel has taken a hit, as the telecom operator has now registered an ARPU of Rs 129 meaning that although the telecom operator has added a few subscribers to its base, they are mostly low paying subscribers. In the previous quarter, Bharti Airtel had reported an ARPU of Rs 129 which denotes a fall of 1%.
