Bharti Airtel adds $30 billion to its market cap to become the biggest wealth creator

Bharti Airtel, which barely had any upward movement for more than a decade through 2018, has emerged as the darling of Dalal Street. Since the beginning of 2024, the telecom major has added more than $30 billion to its market capitalisation. The addition in market valuation is the highest among listed companies in India and is derived from the success of its mobile business. Interestingly, more than 80% of Nifty200 companies command a market valuation, which is less than $30 billion as of Wednesday&rsquo s close. The list comprises marquee names like Wipro, Nestle India, IOCL, Tata Steel and among others.

Last week, the company also added one more feather to its cap by entering the ultra-elite club of $100 billion market cap. Currently, there are only four companies that boast a market capitalisation of at least $100 billion. While Reliance Industries (RIL) tops the list with a market valuation of $237 billion, Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) ranks second with a valuation of $166 billion. Private lender HDFC Bank commands a market capitalisation of $143 billion and occupies the third spot.

In 2023, HDFC Bank saw the highest addition of $46 billion in market capitalisation. However, the gigantic jump in market valuation was largely due to the merger with its housing finance company, HDFC Ltd. The second biggest wealth creator, Larsen & Toubro, witnessed an increase of $24 billion in its market valuation in 2023.

 

The Average Revenue Per User (ARPU) of Bharti Airtel increased by ₹ 16 in FY24 to ₹ 209. While India' s mobile and non-mobile services generate three-fourths of Bharati Airtel&rsquo s revenue, Africa contributes another 25% to the top line.

Singapore-listed Singtel, via its regional data centre business Nxera, is said to be in talks with Malaysian authorities to set up a data centre in Iskandar Puteri in the southern state, sources told The Edge Malaysia.

 

According to its website, Nxera currently operates two data centres in its home country of Singapore, namely DC West and Kim Chuan 2. Another data centre, DC Tuas, is currently under construction and is expected to be operational in 2025.

 

Besides that, Nxera is also currently constructing a data centre in Thailand, and another one in Indonesia.

 

Interestingly, property developer UEM Sunrise Bhd said on Tuesday that it is selling land for RM144.9 million cash for the development of a data centre in Johor.

 

Coincidentally, the two parcels of freehold land measuring about 11.7 hectares (28.9 acres) are also located in Iskandar Puteri.

 

UEM Sunrise did not disclose the identity of the buyer, merely referring to it as &ldquo a leading global data centre industry player&rdquo .

 

Notably, Malaysia has taken a somewhat liberal approach in welcoming companies from around the world to set up data centres in the country to boost its ambition to become a regional data centre hub.
