At 9:25 am, the shares of Bharti Airtel were trading at Rs 614, higher by 0.7 per cent, on the BSE. The shares have touched an intra-day high of Rs 623 and a low of Rs 607 thus far.

The Gurugram-based telecom giant reported consolidated net profit of Rs 853.60 crore in October-December period compared with a loss of Rs 1,035.30 crore during the same quarter in 2019. Bharti Airtel clocked highest quarterly revenue in third quarter of current financial year; its revenue from operations rose 24 per cent on a year-on-year basis to Rs 26,517.80 crore, the company said in a press release.
