    [ad_1]

    Delhi: Telecom operator Bharti Airtel on Tuesday reported a 91.5 per cent year-on-year rise in consolidated net profit at Rs 1,588 crore for the three months ended December 2022, helped by competitive growth across businesses.

    Total revenue rose nearly 20 per cent to Rs 35,804 crore in the third quarter of the current financial year “backed by strong and consistent performance delivery across the portfolio”, the company said in a statement.

    Its consolidated net income (after exceptional items) stood at Rs 1,588 crore for the just ended quarter, translating into an increase of 91.5 per cent year-on-year.

    The consolidated net income (before exceptional items) was at Rs 1,994 crore, up 147 per cent compared to the year-ago period.

    Bharti Airtel Managing Director Gopal Vittal said the company delivered another quarter of consistent and competitive growth across businesses.

    “Revenue grew sequentially by 3.7 per cent while EBITDA margin expanded to 52 per cent. Our strategy of winning quality customers has helped us add 6.4 million 4G customers and exit the quarter with an industry leading ARPU (Average Revenue Per User) of Rs 193,” Vittal said.

    Bharti Airtel’s revenue in India grew 19 per cent to Rs 24,961.5 crore in the 2022 December quarter from Rs 20,912.7 crore a year ago.

    The total capital expenditure of the company rose 52 per cent to Rs 9,313.6 crore in the latest December quarter from Rs 6,101.5 crore in the same period a year ago. The increase was mainly on account of 5G network rollout in India.

    In India, the company’s capital expenditure jumped 74 per cent to Rs 8,095.4 crore during the 2022 December quarter from Rs 4,653.8 crore a year ago.

    According to Vittal, the higher capital expenditure led to a 12 per cent decline in the company’s operating free cash flow to Rs 5,071.1 crore.

    The telco’s 5G rollout is on track to cover all towns and key rural areas by March 2024, the top honcho said.

    India Mobile ARPU increased to Rs 193 during the reporting quarter from Rs 163 in December 2021 quarter, according to the company.

    The company had reported ARPU of Rs 190 in the 2022 September quarter.

    Vittal said that postpaid, enterprise, homes as well as Africa business sustained their momentum while the DTH business showed signs of growth in an industry that continues to be under pressure.

    The company reported a 5.8 per cent growth in its global customer base at 51 crore, including 36.92 crore customers in India.

    The mobile subscriber base of Bharti Airtel in India grew 2.9 per cent year-on-year to 33.22 crore, including 1.8 crore postpaid customers.

    The 4G data customers base increased 10.8 per cent to 21.67 crore and data consumption per customer per month on Airtel network increased by 11 per cent to 20.29 GB from about 18 GB on a year-on-year basis.

    Airtel Africa’s net income grew 22.17 per cent to Rs 788 crore in the latest December quarter. In the year-ago period, the same stood at Rs 645 crore.

    The Africa revenue jumped around 22 per cent to Rs 11,087.6 crore in the third quarter of the current fiscal from Rs 9,105.3 crore in December 2021 quarter.

    At the end of the 2022 December quarter, the company’s net debt increased nearly 32 per cent to Rs 2.09 lakh crore from Rs 1.59 lakh crore a year ago.

  • Uma Bharti tying cows in front of liquor shop: Good thing, says MP home minister

    Uma Bharti tying cows in front of liquor shop: Good thing, says MP home minister

    [ad_1]

    Indore: Senior Bharatiya Janata Party leader Uma Bharti’s move to tie cows in front of a liquor shop as part of her campaign against alcohol in Madhya Pradesh was a “good thing”, state Home minister Narottam Mishra said on Friday.

    Bharti on Thursday tied stray cows in front of a liquor shop in Orchha town, over 450 kilometres from here, and fed them hay as she called upon people to drink cow milk and shun alcohol.

    The former chief minister is spearheading a campaign against liquor consumption in the BJP-ruled state and maintained the government should not cash in on the habit of drinking.

    “It is a good thing,” Mishra said when queried about Bharti’s act in Orchha.

    She had thrown cow dung on the same liquor shop in June last year and had thrown a stone at a liquor vend in Bhopal in March last year.

    While Bharti had started off by seeking total prohibition in the state, she is now demanding regularisation of alcohol sale in the state, where Assembly polls are due by the end of the year.

    On Congress MLA Sanjay Yadav backing Bharti and announcing he would join hands with her to end the rampant sale of illegal liquor in villages under “government protection”, Mishra said the opposition party was latching on other’s efforts as it is devoid of issues to combat the BJP.

    Speaking at a Republic Day function, MP Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan had said his state would come up with a new excise police that would discourage drinking.

    Meanwhile, Mishra refuted reports of an activist of the banned Popular Front of India being held in Sheopur.

    Queried on the renaming of Islam Nagar in Bhopal as Jagdishpur, Mishra said the move was a reflection of the people’s demand.

  • MP: BJP leader Uma Bharti staying in Bhopal temple for stringent liquor policy

    MP: BJP leader Uma Bharti staying in Bhopal temple for stringent liquor policy

    [ad_1]

    Bhopal: Ahead of the Madhya Pradesh government’s likely announcement of a new liquor policy, BJP veteran Uma Bharti on Saturday reached a temple here where she would stay put till January 31 demanding the policy be made more stringent.

    Bharti has been demanding appropriate amendments in liquor policy, which the state government releases every year, and incorporating more controls to promote de-addiction.

    On Saturday afternoon, Bharti reached a temple located near a liquor shop in Ayodhya Nagar trisection and announced she will stay there till January 31 awaiting the liquor policy announcement. Bharti had earlier opposed the wine shop located near the temple.

    The state government has not announced a date but a new liquor policy is generally announced in January end.

    The former Union minister told reporters she had expressed a desire to tour various spots in Madhya Pradesh last November but the visit could not materialise for the lack of arrangements for her staff including security personnel.

    “I have never demanded absolute prohibition. I said I would implement a total prohibition if it is in my control. I have full faith in Shivraj ji (MP Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan). I will wait for the decision about the liquor policy on January 31,” she said.

    The former chief minister said she didn’t want the opposition Congress to benefit from her stand.

    “If a controlled liquor policy, as I had told (to the BJP government), is implemented, the BJP will repeat its record victory like 2003,” she said.

    The BJP had won 165 seats in the 230-member Assembly in the 2003 polls decimating Congress, which was in power at that time, to 58 seats. After that election, Bharti became the chief minister. She resigned after eight months.

    The Assembly elections in MP are due in December this year.
