ACT Telecom Revenue Grows Amidst Competition

ACT Telecom reported a modest market share of 5.2% as of December 31, 2025. The company distinguishes itself through high network uptime, superior service quality, and value-added offerings, including technology upgrades and bundled OTT services.

In the fiscal year 2025, ACT's operating income grew by 4%, amounting to ₹2,204 crore. This growth occurred despite subscriber numbers showing modest increases and a growing average revenue per user (ARPU), influenced by significant competition from major telcos.

Operating profitability declined to 34.71% in FY25 from 37.07% in FY24. This reduction is primarily attributed to increased distribution expenses aimed at retaining and acquiring customers. However, operating profitability remained healthy at 35.35% for the first nine months of fiscal year 2026 (9MFY26). The entity's sustained operating profitability is identified as a key credit monitorable factor.
