Mumbai: Bharti Airtel, one of India’s leading telecom operators, may experience a slowdown in its average revenue per user (ARPU) growth due to the onset of 5G price wars, according to analysts. Both Bharti Airtel and Reliance Jio are yet to introduce 5G-specific mobility tariffs. Another potential hurdle for Bharti Airtel’s ARPU growth is the decline in its capital expenditure (capex) for the quarter. 5G price wars refer to the intense competition among telecom operators to offer the most competitive pricing for their 5G services.
