It owns robust network infrastructure across India, with a broad customer base. We also like the improving industry outlook with rationalising competition, industry consolidation to Airtel’s advantage, and improving regulatory conditions. Airtel is also committed to prudent balance-sheet management and stable leverage. However, the company will likely face continued significant capex requirements with respect to its 5G rollout, with the associated risks being higher than expected capex.<br><br>Our Credit Bias is "Stable", given Airtel’s robust business risk profile and stable financial metrics.</p>
