Nepal Telecom (NTC) has maintained quarterly profits despite the COVID-19 economic setback. The government-owned telecom company has reported an increase in its revenue by 45 crores in the second quarter of the current fiscal year 2077/78.
The telecom operator released its financial details for the second quarter of 2077/78 on Feb 12. It showed the company’s healthy economic graph as compared to both, first quarter and last year same period.
The company gathered revenue of NRs. 8.63 Arba in the first three months of the current fiscal year. Whereas in the preceding fiscal year, the company had maintained revenue of NRs. 8.99 Arba in the second quarter.
Comparing the revenue by quarter, the company increased the profit amount by NRs. 45 crores, which extends the total to NRs. 9.08 Arba in profits for this fiscal year.
Whereas referencing it with the same period (2nd quarter) last year, the company’s revenue increased by 9 crores.
Nepal Telecom Quarterly reports 2077/78 | First quarter 2077/78 | Second quarter 2077/78 |
Total income | 8,635,340,041 | 9,089,573,462 |
Net profit | 1,517,769,381 | 1,771,625,07९ |
In the first three months of the current fiscal year 2077/78, the operator amassed a net profit of NRs. 1 Arba 51.77 crores. In the second quarter, it saw the profits rise by NRs. 25.38 crores and reach NRs. 1 Arba 77.16 crores.
While the quarterly reports showed a healthy picture for the telecom operator, the conclusion may be not so commendable. The company has seen its semi-annual incomes drop by 1.74%. This equates to an amount of NRs. 17.72 Arba which was NRs 18.03 Arba.

Apart from the coronavirus impact and the above mentioned reasons, Nepal Telecom also cites the low prices of the mobile data for the revenue/profit slump.
To stay in the competition, NTC offered cheaper services of mobile data packages to customers yearning for more from the government-run telecom. It also contributed to the latest mixed bag financial results.
While most of the people were confined to their homes, internet usage spiraled out of control. The reports have revealed that Nepal Telecom’s total bandwidth consumption has soared, but its income has narrowed. It is because the company has lowered its mobile data costs and extended its cheaper data services since the lockdown.
