Strong co-location additions and cash generation drove robust performance, the company said in its Q2 earnings release.
"We delivered a strong quarter, underpinned by sustained customer demand, healthy co-location additions and robust cash flow generation," its Managing Director and CEO Prachur Sah said.
He said the improved tenancy ratio reflected the company's success in capturing a substantial share of customers' incremental rollouts, reinforcing its position as their preferred infrastructure partner.
Sah said a focus on a low-cost shared infrastructure model, digital energy management and AI-led transformation was improving operational efficiency and customer experience.
In Africa, he said, initial rollouts were progressing as planned, with momentum expected to build through the second half of the year.
"Supported by a healthy order book and a compelling infrastructure value proposition, we remain confident of delivering sustainable growth and long-term shareholder value," Sah said.
