Airtel FY25 capex to moderate as 5G rollout nears completion: Vittal

Bharti Airtel’s capital expenditure (capex) will come down in FY25 as the company has completed vast part of the 5G rollout as well as made planned investments to improve its market share in rural areas, in the current financial year ending March, the company’s CEO and managing director Gopal Vittal said on Tuesday.

While Vittal did not share details about how much the capex is expected to come down, analysts expects the company’s capex intensity in the country to come down to Rs 15,000-16,000 crore in FY25 from the expected Rs 30,000 in FY24, a fall of near 46%.
