(MENAFN) Nawras, the Omani mobile phone company controlled by Qatar Telecom (Qtel), posted a 62 percent gain in third-quarter profit as the number of subscribers increased, Times of Oman reported.
Net income rose to $32.5 million, including one-off provisions, from $19.9 million a year earlier, the company said in a statement. Revenue increased 13 percent to $123.4 million.
