Airtel’s Resiliency
After continuous years of incurring losses, “Fiscal 2021 belonged to
Bharti Airtel Ltd”, according to brokerages. With, 37.7 million
subscriber increase, it is closing the gap with Jio partially due to
Vodafone Idea losing its subscriber base which trend is expected to
continue in the near future.


Thanks to Airtel, Indian telecom sector is away from a monopoly by
Jio which would lead to unchecked prices in the industry.
The biggest hurdle that Jio never expected facing was Airtel’sresiliency against Reliance capturing the entire market. Incurringhefty losses and losing its market share, Sunil Mittal’s Bharti Airtelkept going thankfully to increasing revenue from Airtel Africa.
Jio’s Crown
Mukesh Ambani led Reliance industries entered the telecom
industry with its Jio network in September 2016 offering free
services for a while. It created a ripple effect sending others the
telecom giants into hefty losses and mergers in order to survive.
Reporting a net profit of 3,508 crores in first quarter of 2021 and
427.6 million subscribers, Jio is in fact the market leader and takes
the crown.
The only hindrance in its way is Airtel that is competing and closing
the gap in the sector. Owing to anti-government sentiments and
alleged Mukesh Ambani’s benefit in farm laws, Jio lost some of its
subscribers to Airtel.

The sector cannot be foreseen turning into a monopoly although, it
can be expected to turn into a duopoly especially after ₹1,037.6
crore deal plus absorption of ₹459 crores of Airtel’s liability by Jio
for airwaves in 800 MHz.
