Bharti Airtel (ISIN INE397D01024) traded at INR 1,741.10 on the NSE on October 1, 2026, 19.93 percent below its 52-week high of INR 2,174.50. The company set its trading window to close from October 1 ahead of its September 2026 financial results release, according to Economic Times on September 25, 2026. The share price was 0.90 percent below the prior NSE close of INR 1,757.00.

What the closure means for results

The trading restriction points to the next reporting cycle while Bharti Airtel's latest operating figures provide the financial baseline. In the first quarter of fiscal 2027, consolidated revenue reached INR 585.39 billion, up 18.40 percent year over year and 5.70 percent quarter over quarter, according to Tradealone on September 22, 2026.

The same report put consolidated EBITDA at INR 335.99 billion, with a 57.40 percent margin. Net income before exceptional items was INR 80.57 billion, compared with INR 59.48 billion in the year-earlier quarter, leaving execution and monetization as the central result markers.

ARPU and subscriber traction

Bharti Airtel's India mobile business remains the main operating signal. Economic Times reported on September 29, 2026, that Airtel added 2.10 million mobile subscribers in August and held a 38.01 percent share of India's mobile market.

That subscriber figure matters because pricing and average revenue per user must convert customer additions into cash generation. The first-quarter revenue increase of 18.40 percent and the 57.40 percent EBITDA margin show the scale of the operating comparison that the next results release will have to maintain.

NSE price stays near yearly low

Bharti Airtel stood at INR 1,741.10 on the NSE on October 1, 2026, down 0.90 percent from the prior close of INR 1,757.00.

Bharti Airtel's official equity page identifies NSE and BSE listings, the BHARTIARTL symbol and the INE397D01024 ISIN, while describing the company as a communications provider serving more than 650 million customers across 15 countries through India and Africa operations.
