SMS INFRASTRUCTURE TO RUN 4,000 TAXIS IN MUMBAI

September 12, 2011, 02.49am IST

 

 

NAGPUR: Mass demand for taxis in Nagpur may still be some way away but a city-based company is set to emerge as the biggest taxi operator in Mumbai. SMS Infrastructure Limited, a closely held company promoted by the Sancheti family, has bagged a contract to run 4000 taxis in Mumbai. It would be the largest fleet run by a private player in any city of the country. These will be sedans, all priced above Rs 1.000 Millions.

 

Though the taxis were expected to be running by October, the launch may be delayed by a couple of months due to certain pending litigation, said an official in the company. Ajay Sancheti, one of the directors in the company, is known to be close to the BJP president Nitin Gadkari and is also on the party's executive committee.

 

The state's transport department held an auction in October in which SMS Infrastructure emerged as the highest bidder, buying 4,000 taxi permits for Rs 26.100 Millions each. The company has envisaged an investment of almost Rs 7000.000 Millions. Of this, Rs 1040.000 Millions will be spent towards buying the permits. Another Rs 4000.000 Millions will be for buying the cars. The rest will go in setting up a call centre and other facilities. It has been learnt that SMS Infrastructure is in talks Tata Motors for procuring around 1,000 cars. The fleet will have other brands too. The entire venture is expected to generate 6,000 direct jobs.

 

"Named TAB Cabs, the radio taxis will be controlled through a hi-tech call centre in Mumbai. A client can dial a number and order a taxi. Although there are five others players in the same sector in Mumbai, it is expected that higher number of taxis and the luxury features may give the brand an edge," Anand Sancheti, a director in SMS Infrastructure told TOI.

 

Mumbai will have 47000 taxies in all after the 4000 to be deployed by SMS Infrastructure are included. Bids are expected to be invited for 6,000 more permits and the company will participate in that too, Sancheti said. Sancheti said there were plans to expand the services to other cities in the country as well as abroad. After Mumbai, business may be expanded to cities like Delhi, Bangalore, and Hyderabad. Overseas destinations being considered are Colombo, Bangkok and Kathmandu. Services in other cities will be launched by 2015 in phased manner. The Colombo venture has been almost finalized, said Sancheti. However, Nagpur is certainly not mature enough a market for such a business, he added.

 

Services offering premium taxis will also be launched with a fleet of around 400 cars including Mercedes entailing an investment of Rs 1600.000 Millions. The premium cars are expected to be launched soon after the regular taxi business gets operational.

 

There are plans to create a separate company in which 40% of the equity will be contributed by Anand Sancheti in his personal capacity with the rest coming from the parent company SMS infrastructure. On raising the funds, he said 70% of the amount would be raised through debt. The cars will be purchased on installment basis. Talks are underway with the manufacturers on getting direct finance or through a financial institution, said a senior official in the company.

 

The business will take at least four years to break even. Dry runs of long distances, the distance covered for reaching the customer for which no tariff is charged, are a major risk factor. Not more than 40 km of dry run in a day can be sustainable, said Sancheti.

 

 

 

IDFC BUYS 48.4% IN SMS SHIVNATH INFRASTRUCTURE LIMITED

 

SMS Infrastructure Limited and IDFC announced today that IDFC has purchased 48.4% equity in one of its SPV viz. SMS Shivnath Infrastructure Limited (SSIL). SSIL owns, operates and maintains an 18.4 kms 2-lane road on National Highway 6 which serves as a bypass to the city of Durg in Chattisgarh. The concession was awarded in 1997 by NHAI under a BOT format, and extends until 2031. The project is amongst the first concessions awarded by the National Highway Authority of India (NHAI).

 

Speaking on the occasion, Mr. Anand Sancheti, Managing Director of SSIL, said that participation by IDFC, a leading financial institution in the infrastructure sector, in the equity of a Group company, reconfirms our business philosophy of creating enduring value in our businesses. This investment also marks the starting of a partnership approach, which would foster aggressive growth in the years to come in the chosen fields of road, waste management and power which the Group has embarked upon.

 

Dr. Rajiv Lall, MD and CEO of IDFC remarked. Our investment in SSIL is part of an important initiative to set up a new infrastructure fund to invest in the equity of operating and greenfield assets.  SSIL will be one of the seed assets for this fund. IDFC will work with companies like SMS Infrastructure Ltd. to help in the creation and operation of infrastructure assets.

 

Mr. M. K. Sinha, President and CEO of IDFC Project Equity Company Limited, remarked. The investment in SSIL is part of our build up of seed assets for the India Infrastructure Fund. We look forward to working with the SMS Group in building quality infrastructure assets in India.’
