Bharti Airtel is the largest private telephony company in the Indian market. They provide both landline and mobile services in addition to broadband services.

The company has said in a statement that its investments in the mobile phone market would reach four billion dollars in the two years ending 2008.

Most of these investments have been made in improving their network in countryside regions.

A company spokesperson said: “Bharti Airtel has invested about two billion dollars in the financial year 2006-2007 and plans a similar investment in 2007-2008.”

Bharti Airtel wants to improve their reach in the rural regions in India. The company is also asking the government to get BSNL and MTNL to “share its infrastructure with private operators.”
