Bharti Airtel fixed July 24, 2026, as the record date to determine shareholder eligibility for its highest-ever annual dividend payout of Rs 24 per equity share for the financial year ended March 31, 2026. Earlier on July 10, the Airtel Africa Foundation renewed its scholarship partnership with Mukuru Promotion Centre, extending its commitment to supporting access to education for disadvantaged learners in Kenya by providing full tuition scholarships for 22 students at St. Michael’s Secondary School between 2026 and 2028. Concurrently, Airtel Africa CEO Sunil Taldar announced the company's commitment to connecting 5,000 schools across its African operating countries to the internet by 2027 through the Airtel Africa Foundation, in partnership with UNICEF. Previously, on July 9, sector analysts projected Bharti Airtel to lead India’s telecom sector in Q1FY27 with stronger profitability and subscriber additions, driven by premiumisation and improving Average Revenue Per User (ARPU). This projection follows observations that India’s digital landscape increasingly relies on service providers like Bharti Airtel, contributing to a trend towards duopolies in the market.
