The company posted consolidated net profit of Rs 585 crore for the October-December quarter. It had clocked consolidated net profit of Rs 620 crore for the corresponding quarter in 2016-17.
"We are all aware that the Indian telecom industry is transforming with unprecedented consolidation. Inevitably and as anticipated, we saw exits of co-locations from such consolidating operators this quarter," said Akhil Gupta, Chairman, Bharti Infratel Limited, in a statement here.
"While there would be more exits on this account in coming few quarters, we expect the overall long-term impact to be positive due to expected accelerated step-up of nationwide 4G rollouts by remaining operators. With our reach, financial strength and operational expertise, we are in the best position to capture what we believe is a big potential for our industry based on exciting data-based demand," he added.
