In India, the revenues for Q1’24 reached Rs 26,375 crore, marking a significant increase of 13.1% YoY. This growth was fueled by improved realisation and strong 4G customer additions throughout the year.

As a result, the EBITDA margin improved from 50.6% in Q1’23 to 52.7% in Q1’24, thanks to the company’s strategic cost optimization program known as the War on Waste.

The EBITDA margins across businesses remained healthy, with India EBITDA margins improving from 51% in Q1’23 to 53.7% in Q1’24.
