DTH industry remains attractive in mid to long term, says Airtel CEO

The DTH market proposition continues to be “attractive” in the medium to long run, given the current structure, the upside opportunity from cable conversion, and current niche play of streaming services, Bharti Airtel CEO Gopal Vittal has said.

Airtel, which added about 485,000 customers in Direct-to-Home (DTH) television segment and logged a sequential revenue growth of just under 5 per cent, said it is now number two player in the DTH space.

Its Digital TV services customer base stood at 1.78 crore as on December 2020.
