Bharti Airtel bets big on data centres, cloud for market share gains

Telecom operator Bharti Airtel on Friday said the company is looking to expand its data centre capacity over the next few years and position itself as a leading sovereign cloud provider in the country. The telecom operator is banking on the rising local data hosting needs to gain market share.

Separately, the company is waiting for a response from the Department of Telecommunications (DoT) on its request seeking parity with Vodafone Idea for the recalculation of its adjusted gross revenue (AGR) dues.
