Jazz CEO Aamir Ibrahim said: “While we are continuously investing in expanding the outreach and capacity of our 4G network and driving the digital ecosystem, the telecom industry’s financial health is severely impacted due to unprecedented rise in the cost of operations; primarily fuel, electricity, interest, and forex rates.”
