Reasons for the decline in profit

Likewise, Ntc has attributed the following reasons for the slight decline in its earnings.

  • Higher use of OTT services that inspired less revenue generation from roaming and international interconnection services due to Covid-19.
  • Less subscription of services due to the third wave of Covid-19 in Magh, 2078.
  • Reduction in domestic interconnection service charges as per the Guidelines for interconnection charges.
  • Higher maintenance costs due to wider expansion of telecom services. Also, the increase in the depreciation of fixed assets, etc. contributed to the decline in profit for the company.
  • Due to affordable data packages to keep people connected during Covid-19 lockdowns. While data consumption has increased massively, revenue has not returned in the same proportion from the company’s GSM services
  • Another reason is the chipset shortages and difficulties in transportation and rising tariffs after the pandemic. Likewise, the import of equipment and other hardware was delayed and the company could not extend the service as planned.
