Airtel Crosses the 5 Million Customer Landmark in Delhi

India's Bharti Airtel says that it has crossed the significant milestone of 5 million customers in the Delhi & NCR circle. With this, Airtel has become the first mobile operator to achieve this landmark in a metro circle and added the last million subscribers in only 13 months in a circle that already boasts of a mobile penetration of almost 100%.

Mr. Shashi Arora, CEO - Bharti Airtel Limited, (Mobile Services), Delhi & NCR, said, "The significant milestone of crossing the 5 million customer mark in the circle from where Airtel started its remarkable journey back in 1995, is indeed an extremely proud and special moment. This is a testimony to the faith and trust that the customers of the Delhi & NCR have reposed on Airtel and we would like to take this opportunity to thank every single one of them. This surely inspires us to achieve much more and continue on our commitment to provide world-class mobile services and unmatched quality of coverage to the people of Delhi."
