The international brokerage said that it expects the Indian telecom industry's repair phase to continue in the near term. For Bharti Airtel, Morgan Stanley sees multiple levers driving average revenue per user (ARPU) growth to mid-single digits in the medium-term, supporting double-digit growth in India EBITDA.
