The Company showed a 4.5% year on year growth in total revenue at Rs 758 crore for the quarter ended 30th June 2015, compared to Rs 725 crore during the same quarter in the previous year.

TTML GSM Data revenue during the quarter grew more than 65% year on year and more than 10% quarter on quarter with an improvement in data realization.
