ARPU of Indian telcos to rise 8-10% to Rs 190 this year, says CRISIL

The average revenue per user (ARPU) of Indian telecom companies is anticipated to increase by 8 to 10 per cent to Rs 190 this financial year, CRISIL Ratings said in a statement on Monday. The statement further noted that the operating profits for these firms could register a 15 to 17 per cent increase, reaching Rs 1.2 trillion this year, up from Rs 1.04 trillion in FY22.

This projected growth is attributed to higher demand for larger data packs, fuelled by a surge in data consumption.
