Early signs from tariff hikes are encouraging and its full impact will be felt in the next two quarters, Airtel Managing Director Gopal Vittal said on Tuesday in the post results call with analysts.

“This (tariff hike) was much needed for the financial health of the industry. The early signs from this repayment are encouraging, with the full flow through is expected in the next two quarters. I need to underscore that the industry needs a minimum Rs 300 ARPU for long term sustainable investments, and respectable return ratios,” Vittal stressed.
