Airtel Q1 likely to be steady on new subscribers & better Arpu

Bharti Airtel is expected to report a steady financial performance for the first quarter of FY26, driven by modest subscriber additions and gradual improvement in average revenue per user (Arpu).

Revenue aided by Arpu growth, subscriber mix

Analysts expect the company’s India mobile business to post 1.6-3.3% sequential revenue growth, aided by one additional day in the quarter and ongoing upgrades to higher-value plans.
