Bharti Airtel, India's largest telecommunications services provider, has announced a 25% more stringent voluntary benchmark of 1.5% for mobile call drops versus the current TRAI prescribed norm of 2% under the Quality of Service regulations. Based on the calculation of the call drop rate during network busy hour on a monthly average, any amount calculated for exceeding the 1.5% voluntary benchmark, subject to a maximum of Rs 100 crore per annum, will be contributed by Airtel towards the education of underprivileged children in rural areas. This is yet another industry first from Airtel and underlines its commitment to serve its customers with world-class services by prescribing to stricter Quality of Service norms. The Company will report its Quality of Service data and the amount calculated on a quarterly/annual basis to ensure transparency.
As per the new benchmark, Airtel will contribute Rs 1 lakh for every 0.01% increase in call drop rate beyond 1.5% every month in each circle of operation. The company has decided to apply this standard benchmark across the country despite the constraint of difficult operating conditions in some areas, in particular hilly regions such as Jammu & Kashmir, Himachal Pradesh and North East.
Bharti Airtel is a leading integrated telecommunications company with operations in 20 countries across Asia and Africa. Headquartered in New Delhi, India the company ranks amongst the top 5 mobile service providers globally in terms of subscribers.
