Bharti Airtel Q3 profit falls 55%
Bharti Airtel, India’s second-largest telecom operator, reported a 55 per cent decline in net profit to ₹6,630 crore for the October–December 2025 quarter, primarily due to the impact of the new labour codes and a high base effect from the year-ago period.
In the corresponding quarter ended December 2024, the company had posted a profit of ₹14,760 crore, which included a net exceptional gain following the reclassification of Indus Towers from an associate to a subsidiary.
Sequentially, Airtel’s net profit for the September 2025 quarter stood at ₹6,791 crore, reflecting a 2.4 per cent decline.
The company said the new labour codes had a ₹257 crore impact on its quarterly results, stemming from higher provisions for gratuity and compensated absences.
