Airtel’s ARPU decreased
The ARPU of the company had come down from Rs 166 to Rs 145. The company also suffered loss in revenue. Airtel is trying to increase it. Airtel’s ARPU was Rs 166 in October-December last year, which went up to Rs 145 in the March quarter this year. This decline was seen because the operators had abolished the Interconnect Usage Charge (IUC). According to one figure, the contribution of IUC in the telecom industry was 7-8 percent, which ended. Due to its end, there has been a big drop in users on the average revenue of mobile companies.
