News Summary:

On February 26, 2026, Bangladesh’s telecom sector recorded a slight fall in total mobile phone subscribers in December 2025 compared with the previous year, primarily due to new limits on SIM ownership per individual. Previously, on February 19, Robi Axiata reported achieving a record profit of Tk 9.37 billion (Tk 937.1 crore) in 2025, marking a 33.3 percent year-on-year surge despite a marginal 1 percent revenue growth to Tk 99.92 billion. The second-largest telecom operator attributed this performance to lower operating costs, a reduced impact of currency devaluation, and disciplined capital allocation, noting that robust data revenue compensated for the continued decline in voice services. Earlier, on January 7, mobile internet subscriptions across Bangladesh declined to a two-year low in November 2025, highlighting a growing disconnect between connectivity and data usage amid economic stress and regulatory tightening.
