Citi has reaffirmed its Buy rating on Indus Towers stock, setting a target price of ₹490, implying a 47% upside from its current market price (CMP) of ₹333.95. The brokerage sees strong tenancy growth and telecom infrastructure expansion as key drivers.

Key takeaways from Citi’s report:

  • Growth outlook remains strong for the next 1-2 years, driven by expanding telecom infrastructure needs.
  • Vodafone Idea and Bharti Airtel’s network expansions are expected to drive higher demand for tower installations.
  • FY26 tenancy growth projected at 15% following the acquisition of 16,000 towers.
  • Strong free cash flow (FCF) generation should enable dividend payouts in Q4, supporting investor confidence.
  • EV charging business expected to be a large annuity-based B2B model, adding a new revenue stream.

Citi remains optimistic about Indus Towers’ long-term potential, citing strong tenancy growth, telecom sector expansion, and diversification into EV infrastructure as key catalysts.
