Telecom operator Bharti Airtel has plans to invest Rs 27,000-28,000 crore in telecom network with a focus on 5G rollout, a company official said on Wednesday.

"Airtel capex will be in line with that spent in the last three years. It may go up and down because of the faster rollout of 5G-- around Rs 27,000-28,000 crore.

The official said that capex is being largely spent on radios (mobile antennas), fibre, broadband, enterprise technology data centres etc. According to data shared by the telecom ministry, Bharti Airtel has rolled out 3,293 base stations for 5G till .
