Bharti Airtel Stock Update (20 December 2025): Rights-Issue Call, Leadership Shuffle, Tariff-Hike Bets and Fresh Analyst Targets
Bharti Airtel Limited (NSE: BHARTIARTL | BSE: 532454) is heading into the final stretch of 2025 with a rare combo of catalysts: a large capital call linked to its old rights issue, a senior leadership succession plan, and a growing analyst consensus that India’s telecom pricing cycle still has another leg left in 2026. As markets were shut on Saturday (20 December 2025), the latest tradable reference is Friday’s close. Airtel ended 19 December 2025 at ₹2,097.70 on NSE (Yahoo Finance) and ₹2,096.30 on BSE, sitting a few percentage points below its 52-week high near ₹2,174.70. Yahoo Finance+2MarketWatch+2 What follows
