Bharti Airtel is at a crossroads as investors demand a faster growth strategy potentially funded by increased debt or a higher dividend payout. In Q3FY26, consolidated EBITDA rose 4.1% to ₹30,783 crore, with India's mobile services EBITDA up 2.2% while Africa's grew 6.8% in constant currency. This situation reflects challenges in capital allocation and 5G monetization.
