Gopal Vittal, MD and CEO, India & South Asia, said, "The pricing disruption in the Indian telecom market caused by the entry of a new operator continued with industry revenues declining over 15 percent Year-on-Year (Y-o- Y), creating further stress on sector profitability, cash flows, and leverage."
He said, "Consequently, our revenues declined 10 percent and EBITDA margin eroded by 5.3 percent Y-o-Y. We remain committed to providing the best value & experience to our customers and continue to invest towards it. As a result, our network witnessed data and voice traffic growth of 200 percent & 34 percent Y-o-Y respectively. We also added 5.2 million data customers in the last quarter - our highest ever."
The company also says that India revenues for Q1'18 at Rs 17,244 crore have declined by 10.0 percent Y-o-Y primarily led by the mobile drop of 14.1 percent Y-o-Y.
