OPERATIONS:
The year ended
March 2010 finally saw the impact of lower tariffs and increased competition
visibly in statistical terms. The year has been challenging and has been a less
profitable year for the Company.
The company’s
customer base grew to 10.825 million subscribers with a growth rate of 35% on a
year on year basis. The Company continues to be the market leader, having a
market share of 34% as at 31 March 2010 in a very competitive 7 players market.
During the year
2009-10, the Company has further expanded its network to increase its coverage
and networks continue to perform better against acceptable thresholds for the
major performance parameters. The Company added 388 cell sites to enhance its
network coverage, closing with 6,369 cell sites as at 31 March 2010.
OUTLOOK FOR
2010-11:
Intense
competition is expected to continue in FY-2010-11. Pricing action that was
undertaken by new operators in FY 2009-10 to penetrate the market will continue
to impact revenues. However, it is expected that subscribers will bond with the
Company in view of the benefits of customer service, relevant pre-positions and
a reliable network as is understood by them. With the company along with its
group companies being successful in the recently concluded bids for 3G
spectrum, relevant value added services will be launched to enhance income from
data and other 3G enabled services.
The Company is
ready for Mobile Number Portability as and when it would be introduced by the Government.
Plans to attract new high value customers and retain existing customers are in
place. The focus on cost reduction and working capital improvement will
continue. The regulatory environment is expected to continue to be challenging
in the coming year. Given the strong presence in Gujarat and added with brand
strength of the Group, you company is confident of addressing these challenges.

2G Scam: CBI Quizzes Essar Group CEO Ruia
Continuing with its probe into
the 2G scam, the CBI today questioned Essar Group CEO Prashant Ruia in
connection with the alleged role of the company with Loop Telecom which got licences
in 21 circles in January 2008.
His questioning comes a day after ADAG Chairman Anil Ambani
was called to the CBI in connection with its probe into the 2G scam as the
agency has to inform the Supreme Court by March 1 about the beneficiaries in
the case.
According to official sources, Ruia was quizzed about the alleged association
of Essar with Loop Telecom which came under scanner in the CBI case registered
in October 2009.
The Essar CEO was called amid allegations that Loop Telecom
acted as a front company for Essar which has nearly 33 per cent stake in
Vodafone-Essar joint venture.
If the allegation were found to be true, it would make Loop Telecom ineligible
to get telecom licences.
As per the guidelines, the threshold of cross-holding is below 10 per cent.
"Essar in is full compliance with DoT licence norms and all other
applicable laws. As and when any information is sought Essar will provide the
same to the authorities," an Essar spokesperson said.
According to the CAG report, Shipping Stop Dot Com (India) Private Limited
(later on changed to Loop Telecom Private Limited) submitted its applications
for grant of UAS licences for 21 service areas on September 3, 2007 to the DoT.
However, the company changed the main object clauses in its Memorandum of
Association (MOA) of Article of Association (AOA) to include the telecom sector
to meet the eligibility criteria only on September 28, 2007 only.
CAG had said the submission of altered MOA suppressing the fact of
non-registration of alterations in the main object clause of MOA/AOA on the
date of application was also in the nature of a fraudulent act with the
intention of fulfilling the eligibility criterion prescribed for UAS licences,
Loop Telecom also allegedly made a patently false claim of the paid-up capital
of Rs 130.65 crore through their Company Secretary V V Chakradeo while
submitting their applications for grant of UAS licences for 21 service areas on
September 3, 2007 to the DoT.
The CAG found the same fictitious with a malafide intention to secure the UAS
licences.
