Ericsson India reported a sharp 32.5% decline in sales for the second quarter of 2025, reflecting muted demand for network equipment and delayed 5G infrastructure investments across the country. The telecom gear maker’s revenue dropped to Rs. 1,768 crore during the quarter, weighed down by slower-than-expected operator spending and intensified pricing pressures. While the company continues to leverage its global scale and technical expertise, near-term headwinds in India’s telecom sector, including cautious capital outlays by key players, have impacted its growth trajectory.
