INDIAN ECONOMIC OVERVIEW

 

India is developing into an open-market economy, yet traces of its past autarkic policies remain. Economic liberalization, including industrial deregulation, privatization of state-owned enterprises, and reduced controls on foreign trade and investment, began in the early 1990s and has served to accelerate the country's growth, which has averaged more than 7% per year since 1997. India's diverse economy encompasses traditional village farming, modern agriculture, handicrafts, a wide range of modern industries, and a multitude of services. Slightly more than half of the work force is in agriculture, but services are the major source of economic growth, accounting for more than half of India's output, with only one-third of its labor force. India has capitalized on its large educated English-speaking population to become a major exporter of information technology services and software workers. In 2010, the Indian economy rebounded robustly from the global financial crisis - in large part because of strong domestic demand - and growth exceeded 8% year-on-year in real terms. However, India's economic growth in 2011 slowed because of persistently high inflation and interest rates and little progress on economic reforms. High international crude prices have exacerbated the government's fuel subsidy expenditures contributing to a higher fiscal deficit, and a worsening current account deficit. Little economic reform took place in 2011 largely due to corruption scandals that have slowed legislative work. India's medium-term growth outlook is positive due to a young population and corresponding low dependency ratio, healthy savings and investment rates, and increasing integration into the global economy. India has many long-term challenges that it has not yet fully addressed, including widespread poverty, inadequate physical and social infrastructure, limited non-agricultural employment opportunities, scarce access to quality basic and higher education, and accommodating rural-to-urban migration.

FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE

 

The Earning per Share for the year is Rs. 6.0 per share which is lower from Rs. 7.9 per share in the previous year. The reduction in Profit before tax was mainly on account of increase in access and regulatory charges and increase in finance charges.

 

 

OPERATIONS:

 

The year ended March 2011 has been a good year for the Company. The favourable revenue performance was primarily due to both higher Outbound and Inbound Voice and greater Messaging and Data usage. During the year, the Company has widened its subscriber base by launch of various segmented products.

 

The company’s customer base grew to a landmark 14.3 million subscribers with a growth rate of 32.19% on a year on year basis. The Company continues to be the leading operator, having a Revenue market share of 36.11% (Includes fixed line revenue of all operators) as at 31 March 2011 in a very competitive multi-player market.

 

During the year 2010-11, 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 has added 455 more cell sites to enhance its network coverage, closing with a total of 6824 cell sites as at 31 March 2011. Mobile Number Portability has resulted in net addition of 24,988 customers as of March 2011.

 

 

STATUS OF DEMERGER OF PASSIVE INFRASTRUCTURE ASSETS

 

During the previous year 2009-10, the Company had filed a Scheme of Arrangement (“Scheme”) in the Hon’ble Gujarat High Court under Sections 391 to 395 of the Companies Act, 1956 for demerger of its passive infrastructure assets along with its other fellow subsidiaries and is to be vested in Vodafone Essar Infrastructure Limited. The effective date of the demerger, subject to sanction of the Scheme by the Hon’ble Gujarat High Court, will be 1 April 2009. The Hon’ble Gujarat High Court has not sanctioned the scheme for VEGL. The Company has appealed against the Order before the Division Bench of the Hon’ble Gujarat High Court. The Hon’ble Court had admitted the Appeal and the same is yet to reach the Board for hearing.

 

 

OUTLOOK FOR 2011-12

 

Intense competition is expected to continue in FY-2010-11. Pricing action that was undertaken by new operators in FY2009-10 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. 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, company is confident of addressing these challenges.
