Year Under Review – Corporate

 

The period 2007-08 has been further corporate changes with respect to the Company and its subsidiaries (VE Group) and the following major events occurred during the year:

·         Change of Company name and transition from the “Hutch” Brand to the “Vodafone” Brand

·         Status of acquisition of BPL Mobile Communications Limited (BMCL)

·         Grant of licenses and spectrum to Vodafone Essar Spacetel Limited for seven circles (VESPL) and transfer of equity shares of VESPL to Vodafone Essar Gujarat Limited

·         Formation of a Joint Venture – Indus Towers Limited

·         Acquisition of Vodafone Essar Infrastructure Limited (VEIL) and the setting up of Vodafone Essar Towers Limited (VETL)    

 

Change of Company name and Brand Transition from “Hutch” to “Vodafone”

 

The name of the Company was changed from Hutchison Essar Limited to Vodafone Essar Limited effect from 12 July 2007.

 

In September 2007, the VE Group successfully achieved a smooth transition from the erstwhile “Hutch” brand to the present “Vodafone” brand thereby giving a boost to its market presence in the circles in which it operates. It also launched “Vodafone Live”, as part of its VAS service during this transition and the service was well received with tremendous response from the day of its launch. With this transition, the Company is the only one currently to operate with an international brand in the Indian telecom Market.

 


Acquisition of BMCL - Status

 

The acquisition of BMCL is still under dispute with the vendors and the matter has been referred to arbitration. The Hon’ble High Court of Mumbai has granted a stay against the disposal of the shares of BMCL to any other party, which has been continued by the Arbitral Tribunal. The Company is confident that the above will not adversely affect the Company. 

 

Licenses and Spectrum allocation in VESPL and transfer to Vodafone Essar Gujarat Limited (“VEGL”)

 

VESPL, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company which received licenses for operating in seven circles – Bihar, Himachal Pradesh, Jammu and Kashmir, Orissa, Assam, North East and Madhya Pradesh last year has subsequent to the current accounting period been granted spectrum to commence its operations. The launch of operations in these seven circles will give VE Group an all-India presence and takes its operations from the existing 16 circles to 23 circles.

 

On 1 August, 2007 the Company has sold its 100% holding in Vodafone Essar Spacetel Limited to its wholly owned subsidiary, VEGL, at par value for a consideration of Rs. 255 million. Consequently, there has been no gain/loss.

 

Formation of a Joint Venture – Indus Towers Limited (“Indus”)   

 

A three way joint venture Tower company named Indus Towers Limited was set up between the Vodafone Essar Group, the Bharti Group and the Idea Group for carrying on the business of a Tower Company. The business of the JV Tower Company would include the setting up and / or acquiring a company to jointly carry on the activities of setting up and managing the passive infrastructure in the communication sector like setting up of communication towers, etc. The Company owns 42% stake in Indus. Going forward, Indus would be one of the main value creators for the Company and the Group.

 

Acquisition of VEIL and setting up of VETL

 

During the year, the Company has acquired the entire share capital of Perfect Tribute Impex Private Limited for carrying on the business of providing passive infrastructure in the communication sector. Subsequent to the acquisition, the company was renamed as Vodafone Essar Infrastructure Limited. It is now proposed that this Company will be used as the company to hold the passive infrastructure of the Vodafone Essar Group in the 16 circles relating to Indus.

 

VETL was also added to the corporate family of the Vodafone Group in India. This company was set up with the objective of setting up towers and is proposed to be used for carrying on the business of providing passive infrastructure in the seven circles of VESPL.

 

Operations            

 

The period of 15 months till March 2008 has been a challenging but profitable period for the Company.

 

During the period, the Company has widened its subscriber base by launch of segmented product for period and reduced rate for prepaid and roaming. It achieved a landmark of reaching 3.5 million subscribers and continues to be the market leader, having a market share of 26% as at 31 March 2008 in a very competitive 6 player market. The subscriber base of the Company increased by 45% from subscribers to 3451567.

 

The Company has further expanded its network to increase its coverage. During the period the Company added 818 cell sites to enhance its network coverage, closing with 2170 cell sites as at 31 March 2008.

 

The subscriber of VE Group as a whole increased by 71.47% on an annualized basis from 23.3 million subscribers as at 31 December 2006 to 44.13 as at 31 March 2008. This constitutes a 16.90% of the total market share in the telecom industry (GSM + CDMA_with the VE Group operating in 16 circles, against 23 circles in which the major competitors operate.

 


Outlook for 2008-09

 

The year 2008-09 is expected to be challenging for the Company and the VE Group due to further consolidation, expected launch of Idea Cellular (by August 2008) and future price drops. Also the full impact of roaming price reduction / products like talk time thereby reducing the processing fee will be felt in 2008-09 albeit compensated by increased usage by roamers / home subscribers. Many VAS businesses in line with latest global technology are expected to be launched during the year further improving the revenue growth. Increase in site sharing through Indus is expected to being down cost thereby improving margins. Aggressive network rollout for capacity / coverage is further expected to improve customer satisfaction level. The rollout of operations in the VESPL circles is expected to contribute to the all India presence of the VE Group, whilst the primary growth will continue to be in the existing operations.

 

The proposed launch of 3G and the introduction of MVNO and number portability along with the addition of new players are expected to create further challenges on price and market position for the existing players in the industry, which will also affect the VE Group.
