Telecom giant boosts connectivity: Expanding network in Wayanad and Kozhikode districts

With this expansion, company aims to ensure reliable network access for work, study, and entertainment, even in remote locations such as hill stations in Wayanad, Idukki, and Pathanamthitta.

On Thursday, the shares of Bharti Airtel Limited soared 0.44 per cent. The company's current market capitalisation is Rs 7,08,989 crore.  

Recent development:

 

Bharti Airtel has expanded its network in Wayanad and Kozhikode districts to enhance connectivity. This project covers 48 towns and 293 villages, benefiting 17.8 lakh people. The additional sites aim to improve both voice and data connectivity, particularly benefiting areas like Kozhikode, Thamarassery, Quilandy, Vadakara, Mananthavady, Sulthanbathery, and Vythiri.

Airtel has intensified its commitment to Kerala by investing in network enhancement, aiming to cover 1600 villages and 355 towns across the state. This initiative aligns with Airtel's broader rural enhancement project, aiming to cover 60,000 villages nationwide by 2024.
