Airtel: Tariffs continue to be unsustainably low, more needs to be done

Bharti Airtel on Tuesday said that while the telecom industry has seen some bit of repair, tariffs continue to be “unsustainably low”, as it exhorted the sector regulator to address the floor price issue “sooner than later”.

In an earnings’ call, Bharti Airtel CEO, India and South Asia, Gopal Vittal, said although the company is by-and-large comfortable with its spectrum holding and has the required headroom, it is keen to have sub-GHz footprint across the country to plug some gaps.
