Bharti Infratel says worst is over for telecom sector

New Delhi: Telecom tower company Bharti Infratel, which saw the highest tower adds in eight years, expects the robust growth in towers to continue as the worst is behind the telecom sector, chairman Akhil Gupta said.

“While we dont give any guidance…but we do hope this trend will continue because the telecom sector as Covid has shown, is the absolute lifeline of this country and to deepen that with more capacity and more coverage is a national demand,” Gupta said in a post earnings call on Friday.

“It is just a matter of time that the growth in the telecom sector, taking away all the legal uncertainties, is bound to come back,” he said.
