Management Discussion and Analysis
Forward looking statements
Statements in this Management
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations of the
Company describing the Company’s objectives, expectations or predictions may be
forward looking within the meaning of applicable securities laws and
regulations. Forward looking statements are based on certain assumptions and
expectations of future events.
The Company cannot guarantee that
these assumptions and expectations are accurate or will be realised. The
Company assumes no responsibility to publicly amend, modify or revise
forward-looking statements, on the basis of any subsequent developments, information
or events. Actual results may differ materially from those expressed in the
statement. Important factors that could influence the Company’s operations
include interconnect usage charges, determination of tariff and such other
charges and levies by the regulatory authority, changes in government
regulations, tax laws, economic developments within the country and such other
factors globally.

Subject has used estimates and judgments relating to the financial statements
on a prudent and reasonable basis, in order that the financial statements
reflect in a true and fair manner, the state of affairs and profits for the
year.
Macro economics
The Indian economy registered buoyant
growth in Financial Year 2009-10 after combating severe headwinds caused by the
global financial crisis in the previous year. Having regained some of the
growth momentum of the earlier 9 per cent plus era, it is now poised to cross
the ‘double digit growth’ barrier. The challenge is to harness this quick
economic recovery and focus on the development of rural infrastructure.
There are several factors that
underpin the robust performance of the economy in recent times, and augur well
for its long-term health. Apart from the impressive recovery in the industrial
sector, there has been a significant revival in investment as well as private
consumption demand. Favourable capital market conditions, together with
improved business sentiment and capital inflows, have also been a cause for
optimism. All this has been accompanied by a marked pick-up in corporate
earnings and profits.
Given these macro indications, the
GDP growth rate may well breach the 10 per cent mark in the near future.

RCOM redefines industry benchmarks
Earlier this year, in a game changing move, Reliance broke through the
clutter of myriad tariffs, with one single rate for all local and STD calls to

variants to meet the needs of customers with different calling patterns,
namely, 50 paise per minute, 1 paise per second and Re.1 per call for duration
of 3 minutes across pan India available to all customers, whether existing

Wireless Business
3G Telecom services
The exponential growth of the telecom
industry in
On the downside, the bulk of the subscriber
growth in the industry is from low value customers, which is unlikely to
translate into major revenue gains for operators. The entry of new players into
an already highly competitive market has brought down the pricing, putting
pressure on revenue growth.
The urban market in
Notwithstanding all this, the Indian telecom industry continues to
maintain a high growth trajectory. Thanks to the continued outstanding pace of growth,
the overall wireless tele-density reached 49.6 per cent as of 31st March, 2010.
The subscriber base for wireless services has increased to 584.32 million as on
31st March, 2010.
Most international developed markets have
close to 100 per cent penetration and most comparable developing markets
currently have penetration levels of 60 per cent – 70 per cent.

Value added Services (VAS)
The mobile value added services include,
text or SMS, menu based services, downloading of music or ringtones, mobile TV,
videos, streaming, sophisticated m-commerce applications etc.

by expanding and deepening the geographic reach of their network and platform
through focused new builds, at a low marginal cost.
Focus on customers in underserved emerging
markets
They aim to exploit the growing demand from enterprises located in
emerging markets for greater connectivity to North America and
They are positive about the revenue
opportunities in the current financial year. Corporates have started talking
about expansion plans and they are well placed to garner a big share of the new
demand. Last year, in order to enhance their share in the market, they adopted
a new strategy where they formed separate vertical teams to deliver higher
value to their customers. This was very well received by their customers, and
their vertical team registered some key wins. As a result, they are well poised
to get higher revenues from this sector.

market segment has evolved as a new focus area for them and they are working on
expanding their customer base in this segment. They expect this segment to
emerge as a growth engines for their business in the future. They are also
creating new offerings specifically for the segment and are realigning their

PRESS RELEASE:
2G scam: CBI say Swan
Telecom a front company of RCom
The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) Thursday told a special court here that Swan Telecom is a front company of Reliance Communications and began its arguments on framing charges against 14 accused named in the scandal involving allocation of second generation (2G) airwaves to telecom companies.
CBI Special Judge O.P. Saini began the process of arguments on framing of charges in the scandal, a day after dismissing the plea of former communications minister A. Raja opposing it
Beginning the arguments, Special Public Prosecutor U.U. Lalit, representing the CBI, said Swan was owned by the Reliance Communications which had 9.9 percent stake in the company at the time of applying for a licence.
Reliance Communications has consistently denied the charges.
The CBI charged Raja and his secretary R.K. Chandolia with favouring Swan Telecom and Unitech Wireless.
The CBI also claimed that telecom company Spice was more eligible than Swan Telecom and Unitech Wireless for airwaves allocation.
Lalit claimed that offences by the accused have been committed in relation to cut off dates for allocation, “first come first serve” policy, dual technology, eligibility norms and cheating of the government’s revenue department.
Lalit said that Raja had given an in-principle approval for grant of dual technology 2G spectrum (airwaves) licences to Reliance, Himachal Futuristic Communications Ltd. (HFCL) and Shyam Telelink 18.09.2007, a day before his ministry officially opened the scheme Sep 19 for the grant of licences.
“A day later as Tata Teleservices applied for the 2G spectrum licence Sept 19, the ministry deliberately sat over its plea,” said Lalit.
“On 19.09.2007, a press release for approval of dual technology was issued but a day earlier on Sep 18 itself, Raja granted in-principle approval for dual technology (licence) for Reliance, HFCL and Shyam Telelink,” Lalit added.
“On 19.09.2007, Tata Teleservices applied for dual technology spectrum but their application was not treated in a similar fashion. It was kept pending and deliberately so with a design,” he added.
Earlier in the day, the court allowed the Income-Tax (I-T)department to interrogate Raja in connection with the 2G scandal.
The court gave the go-ahead for the interrogation of Raja, Swan Telecom director Vinod Goenka, its promoter Shahid Usman Balwa and Reliance Group executives Gautam Doshi, Hari Nair and Surendra Pipara.
“The I-T department can interrogate all six July 27 to 29,” Saini said.
“The I-T department moved three separate applications seeking interrogation of Raja in connection with his family income,” said senior standing counsel for the I-T department Sanjeev Rajpal.
Balwa will be quizzed by the I-T official from Mumbai regarding his connection with Etisalat DB telecom.
Another application was moved on behalf of the additional commissioner of Income-Tax, Mumbai, to quiz Balwa, Goenka and three Reliance Group officials.
“Our applications have been allowed by the court and these six persons will be interrogated from July 27-29,” Rajpal said later.
The court July 18 allowed the CBI to interrogate afresh Raja, former telecom secretary Siddhartha Behura and Doshi in the lock up of Patiala House court complex for one hour each.
The CBI, in its first charge sheet April 2, accused Raja and eight others, including Balwa, Goenka, Doshi, Nair and Pipara as well as three companies, of causing a loss of Rs.309840.000 millions to the exchequer.
Charges of cheating, forgery, criminal conspiracy and corruption have been levelled against the accused, who are currently lodged in Tihar Jail. Other accused include DMK MP Kanimozhi
