Bharti Airtel Limited — Others, 26-03-2025: Action(s) taken or orders passed

Bharti Airtel has disclosed receipt of notices from the Department of Telecommunications (DoT) regarding multiple penalties imposed for alleged violations of subscriber verification norms. The fines include Rs. 120,000, Rs. 113,000, Rs. 583,000, and Rs. 107,000 for respective regions, totaling Rs. 923,000. The company does not agree with the notice from Jammu & Kashmir and plans to contest, while it will pay the penalties imposed by Maharashtra, Andhra Pradesh, and Madhya Pradesh.
