BACKGROUND:
NATURE OF BUSINESS AND OWNERSHIP:
Subject (‘the
Company’ or ‘QTL’), Unified Access Services Licensee for Punjab Circle
(including Chandigarh and Panchkula), is providing complete telecommunication services,
which includes voice telephony, both wireline and fixed wireless, CDMA and GSM
based mobiles, internet services, broadband data services and a wide range of
value added service viz., centrex, leased lines, VPNs, voice mail, etc. The
services were commercially launched in October 2000 and as on March 31, 2012,
the Company has an active subscriber base of over 1,682,567.
The Company was
incorporated on August 2, 1946 with the name of The Investment Trust of India
Limited (ITI) which was subsequently changed to HFCL Infotel Limited on May 12,
2003. This was done pursuant to a Scheme of amalgamation (the Scheme), approved
by the Hon’ able High Court of the State of Punjab and Haryana and the State of
Tamil Nadu on March 6, 2003 and March 20, 2003, respectively, whereby the erstwhile HFCL Infotel Limited
(name earlier allotted to the transferor Company) (‘erstwhile HFCL Infotel’) was merged with the Company with
effect from September 1, 2002. As per the Scheme envisaged, the Company’s then
existing business of hire purchase, leasing and securities trading was
transferred by way of slump sales to its wholly owned subsidiary, Rajam Finance
and Investments
Company (India)
Limited (‘Rajam Finance’) with effect from September 1, 2002. Rajam Finance was
renamed as The Investment Trust of India Limited with effect from June 17, 2003
and it ceased to be the subsidiary of the Company with effect from September
30, 2003, due to allotment of fresh equity by Rajam Finance to other investors.
The Company,
during the year ended March 31, 2004, surrendered its license granted by
Reserve Bank of India (‘RBI’) to carry out NBFC business. RBI confirmed the
cancellation of the NBFC license as per their letter dated May 24, 2004.
On September 24,
2010 the name of Company was changed to Quadrant Televentures Limited. During
the year ended March 31, 2009, the Company had incorporated one wholly owned
subsidiary Company, Infotel Tower Infrastructure Private Limited (‘ITIPL’) with
an investment of Rs. 99,800 During the year ended March 31,2011 the Company has
acquired beneficial interest in the remaining 20 equity shares which were
earlier held by the subscribers to the Memorandum of Association. Declaration
of beneficial Interest in the said shares has been duly filed with the Registrar
of Companies. Consequently, the company now holds 100% of the issued equity
share capital in the subsidiary company. The principal business of the Company
is building, establishing, setting-up, accruing, developing, advising on,
managing, providing, operating and/or maintaining, facilitating conduct of,
fully or partially infrastructure facilities and services thereof for all kinds
of value added services including Broadband Towers for telecom
operations/services, payment gateway services and international gateway
services.
LICENSE FEES:
The Company
obtained license for Basic Telephony Service for the Punjab circle (including
Chandigarh and Panchkula) by way of amalgamation of the erstwhile HFCL
Infotel with the Company. Erstwhile HFCL Infotel had obtained this
license under fixed license fee regime under National Telecom Policy (‘NTP’)
1994, valid for a period of 20 years from the effective date, and subsequently
migrated from the fixed license fee regime to revenue sharing regime upon
implementation of NTP 1999. Further to the Telecom Regulatory Authority of
India’s (‘TRAI’) recommendations of October 27, 2003 and the Department of
Telecommunications (‘DOT’) guidelines on Unified Access (Basic and Cellular)
Services License (‘UASL’) dated November 11, 2003, the Company migrated its
license to the UASL regime with effect from November 14, 2003. A fresh License
Agreement was signed on May 31, 2004. Pursuant to this migration, the Company
became additionally entitled to provide full mobility services. HFCL Infotel
also entered into a License Agreement dated June 28, 2000, and amendments
thereto, with DOT to establish maintain and operate internet service in Punjab
circle (including Chandigarh and Panchkula).
Fixed license fees
of Rs 1775.852 millions paid under the old license fee regime from inception
till July 31, 1999, were considered as the License Entry Fees of the Punjab
circle (including Chandigarh and Panchkula) as part of the migration package to
NTP 1999.
With effect from
August 1, 1999, the Company is required to pay revenue share license fees as a
fraction of Adjusted Gross Revenue (‘AGR’). The revenue share fraction was set
at 10 per cent of AGR with effect from August 1, 1999 and was reduced to 8 per
cent of AGR with effect from April 1, 2004. In addition, spectrum charges
calculated at 3 per cent of the AGR earned through the wireless technology is
payable under the license agreement. Income from internet services is excluded
from the service revenue for the purpose of the calculation of AGR as it is
governed by a separate ISP license between the Company and the Department of
Telecommunications (‘DOT’).
During the year
ended March 31, 2008, the Company has deposited the entry fee of Rs 1517.500
millions with The Department of Telecommunication (‘DOT’) for the use of GSM
Technology in addition to CDMA technology being used under the existing Unified
Access Services License (‘UASL’) for the Punjab Service Area. The UASL has
since been amended to incorporate the license for use of GSM technology on
January 15, 2008 vide DOT’s letter number F.No.10-15/2004/BS.II/HITL/ Punjab/17
dated January 15, 2008. The Company has launched its GSM services on March 29,
2010 in Punjab Circle.
PROJECT FINANCING:
The Company’s
project was initially appraised by Industrial Development Bank of India
(‘IDBI’) during the year ended March 31, 2000.
Pursuant to the
migration to UASL regime, the consortium of lenders, led by IDBI, through the
Corporate Debt Restructuring (‘CDR’) mechanism approved an overall restructuring
of the liabilities of the Company and thereby revised the peak funding
requirements.
Further, the CDR
Empowered Group has approved the proposal of the Company for expansion of
services, change in the scope of the project, cost of project and means of
finance and restructuring of debt as per the reworked restructuring scheme
dated June 24, 2005.
During the year,
the Company has incurred losses of Rs 1,791,601,978 resulting into accumulated
loss of Rs 15,428,596,916 as at March 31, 2012 which has completely eroded its
net worth and has a net current liability of Rs 6,847,992,445 The ability of
the Company to continue as a going concern is substantially dependent on its
ability to successfully arrange the remaining funding and achieve financial closure
to fund its operating and capital funding requirements and to substantially
increase its subscriber base. The management in view of its business plans and
support from significant shareholders is confident of generating cash flows to
fund the operating and capital requirements of the Company. Accordingly, these
statements have been prepared on a going concern basis.
PERFORMANCE:
The Company holds
the UASL (Unified Access Services License) for providing Telephony Services in the
Punjab Telecom Service Area comprising of the state of Punjab, the union
territory of Chandigarh and the Panchkula Town of Haryana. Currently, the
Company is providing Fixed Voice (Landline) services, DSL (Internet) services,
Leased Line services, CDMA Mobile Services and GSM Mobile Services in the
Punjab Telecom Circle.
As on March 31,
2012, the Broadband DSL subscriber base touched 1,15,538 (previous Year
1,04,850) witnessing a growth of about 10%, and the Fixed Voice (Landline)
Subscriber Base touched 2,00,044 (previous year 1,89,988); the CDMA Mobile
Services Segment customer base at 27,768 subscribers (previous year 2,41,798 )
since many of the Subscribers have opted to shift to the GSM Services of the
Company by using the Mobile Number Portability (MNP) option.
As of March 31,
2012, the GSM Mobile Services Segment customer base has touched 1321225
(Previous Year 1227493) at the end of second year of operations.
The Revenue from
operations of the Company increased by 19 % from Rs.2360.510 millions in
2010-11 to Rs.2813.020 millions in 2011-12. The Total Expenses changed
marginally from Rs. 4620.040 millions in 2010-11 to Rs. 4620.490 millions in
2011-12.
Consequently the
Loss during the year reduced from Rs. 2236.670 millions in 2010-11 to Rs. 1791.600
millions in 2011-12.
MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS REPORT:
OVERVIEW:
Subject is a
Unified Access Services Licensee in the Punjab Telecom Circle, which comprises
of the state of Punjab, the Union Territory of Chandigarh and the Panchkula
town of Haryana. The Company initially started its operations as a ‘fixed line

part of the Circle over the last one year in the face of intense competition
from the established Players who were already present and operating in the
Circle.
Key Business and
Financial highlights for the financial year ended 31.03.2012 are:
INDUSTRY STRUCTURE
The
Telecommunication Services Sector operates in a licensed and highly regulated
environment. The sector can be classified in terms of segments for which the
Government of India (GOI) issues Licenses through the Department of Telecommunications
(DOT):
The Government of
India is empowered to decide on the policies that govern the Telecommunication
Services Sector and issue licenses to the private sector players. The
Government plays these roles through the Department of Telecommunications (DOT)
and the Telecom Commission, both functioning under the Ministry of
Communications and Information Technology.
Apart from the
above, the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI), an autonomous body with
quasi-judicial powers to regulate the Telecommunications Services was
established in early 1997. The Act governing the establishment and role of TRAI
was amended in 2000, pursuant to which TRAI’s powers to adjudicate disputes
have been vested in the Telecom Disputes Settlement Appellate Tribunal (TDSAT).
KEY INDUSTRY
DEVELOPMENTS:
GROWTH AND MARKET
TRENDS:
The Indian Telecom
market has grown to 951.340 millions telecom subscribers as at March 31, 2012
(as against 846.320 millions telecom subscribers as at March 31, 2011). With
919.170 millions wireless connections there is an addition of over 8.500
millions connections per month.
The share of
private sector in Total Telephony is 87.01%. Overall teledensity has reached
78.66%. Urban Tele-density is about 169.55%, whereas rural teledensity is at
39.22% which is also steadily increasing. Broadband connections have also
crossed 13.810 millions connections.
The customer base
of Wire line Telephony has been overshadowed by the growth in mobile services
mainly due to convenience of use of mobile set with features like telephony
directory and SMS coupled with cheaper or more affordable tariffs.
Indian telecom
market has still a huge untapped potential to grow further. With a large
population yet to have access to telecommunication and tele-density still being
78.66% and rural tele-density being 39.22%; there is therefore a significant
growth opportunity for the sector, especially in rural areas with 3G and BWA
yet to make significant inroads. The rural market is expected to drive the next
round of growth for the voice based services while data services will create
the much needed boost in the maturing urban markets. One can therefore safely
assume that the Indian Telecom market will achieve the mark of one billion
telecom subscribers much before March 31, 2013.
BROADBAND:
It is necessary to
increase the broadband connectivity for the masses for the knowledge based
society to grow quickly and for reaping the consequent economic benefits.
Telecommunication is significantly driving the economic and social development
across the globe. The telecom industry in India too has achieved a tremendous
growth in the last decade; the telecom industry has now embarked on the
transition from voice services to data services. The voice telephony market has
almost attained saturation limits; however there is a huge scope for the
data/broadband services; the telecom sector with the support of the government
is taking great strides for providing the much needed boost to data/ broadband
services.
INSIGHTS:
FUTURE
PERSPECTIVE:
After being in the
overdrive for the last one decade, the telecom sector has now come in the grip
of strong rates to woo customers has resulted in shrinking margins for almost
all the players – established as well as new; while the older established
players are able to survive on wafer thin margins on account of larger volumes,
the going has become very tough for the new entrants especially in view of the
high initial network costs and licensing issues. Currently the industry is
faced with high overheads and operating costs and continuously shrinking
margins and increasing competition.
OUTLOOK:
The Company foresees a high degree of competition in the years to come,
especially in the mobile telephony segment. The Company during the financial
year 2009-10 had expanded the wireless network footprint to most parts of
Punjab. In terms of subscriber base, all existing mobile operators are showing
a healthy growth pattern and no single major operators holds sway over the
market. The Company derives a substantial part of its earnings from wire line
(copper based network) services.
Even the overall market for Fixed Line services – the Company’s largest
service stream – has witnessed considerable growth and the Management believes
that the Company will sustain all round healthy growth in both the Wire line as
well as the GSM /CDMA segments on account of following factors:
