Finnish telecom equipment supplier Nokia (nokia.he), opens new tab on Wednesday said it had won a "multi-billion" dollar deal with India's Bharti Airtel for delivery of 4G and 5G equipment, reports Reuters.

Sources familiar with the talks told the media last month Nokia and Bharti were nearing a deal worth several billion dollars to expand Bharti's network in India.

Nokia's Swedish rival Ericsson had already won a deal of similar size with Bharti earlier in October.

India last year helped Nokia and Ericsson offset weakness in demand from US customers. However, the volume of orders from India slowed down significantly after a growth spurt last year.

Nokia’s share price rose 3.1% by 0829 GMT.
