Vodafone Idea survival critical for Indus Towers: Akhil Gupta

Kolkata: Bharti Enterprises vice chairman Akhil Gupta has said cash-strapped Vodafone Idea’s survival is vital for growth of India’s biggest telecom tower company, Indus Towers, in which Bharti Airtel is the biggest stakeholder.

Gupta also expects a combination of higher data consumption and fixed wireless services to drive 5G monetisation for India’s top telcos in the near-term.
