INDIAN ECONOMIC OVERVIEW

 

N E W S

 

Verdict Implications : Apex court order may alter coal import dynamics. Traders go slow on talks over coal supply contracts, uncertainty over cancellation of blocks weigh on stocks.

 

Recent arrest of the Chennai head of the Registrar of Companies, the ministry of corporate affairs arm that ensures that companies file all the information required by the Companies Act is the latest manifestation of a messy fight between a father and his adopted son for the control of Rs 40000 mn business empire. The Central Bureau of Investigation arrested Manumeethi Cholan after he accepted Rs 10 lakhs as bribe from M A M Ramaswamy, a CBI official said.

 

Central Bureau of Investigation books Electrotherm for cheating Central Bank of Rs 4360 mn.

 

Infosys maintains revenue guidance. COO Rao says attrition still an area of concern and it would take a few more quarters to bring down levels to 13-15 %.

 

DHL  to invest Euro 100 mn in India over next 2 years. The firm has chosen India to pilot its e-commerce business model for the Asia-Pacific region.

 

Blackstone may buy stake in BlueRidge SEZ in line with the fund’s real estate strategy in India.

 

Kingfisher Airlines Ltd grounded in October 2012 under the weight of heavy debt and accumulated losses, recently approached the Delhi high court for relief in two separate cases. The airline challenged a notice by Punjab & National Bank alleging that It had wilfully defaulted on Rs 7700 mn of loans and sought more time to comply with the requirements under the listing agreements with the Stock Exchanges.

 

OnMobile likely to sack another 300 employees. The lay-offs follow a spate of senior-level exits over the past two years, starting with of its founder. The overall lay-offs could number around 600 and are driven by the need to cut costs, says a former employee.

Press Release

 

VODAFONE INDIA OUTSHINES GLOBAL PEERS IN SEPTEMBER QUARTER

 

NEW DELHI: Vodafone India outshone global counterparts in the April-September period, driven by higher data usage and rising call rates, although it faces a battle for survival in four circles where its permits are expiring, leaving it in a must-win situation for airwaves as it does not have any fallback spectrum.

india's No. 2 telecom company, like its top rivals Bharti Airtel and Idea Cellular, reaped the benefits of lower competition after the Supreme Court cancelled 122 telecom licences in 2012 and continuing strong user additions in a market counted as among the fastest growing in the world.

 

SPECTRUM CONCERNS

Country Chief Executive Officer Marten Pieters said offering limited spectrum in auctions likely to be held in February, as indicated by the government, would lead to massive business disruption.

"It would be a disaster for existing operators whose hundreds of millions of customers are using the existing spectrum," he told reporters. "We think it is wrong to do an auction if there isn't enough fresh spectrum, which means that if an incumbent is unable to buy back his existing spectrum, he has to close shop."

Vodafone India, in which the parent took full control earlier this year, will have to bid aggressively in Maharashtra & Goa and Rajasthan where it does not have any backup 1800 MHz spectrum, while the Gujarat and Uttar Pradesh (East) circles do not have enough quantum of airwaves in the 1800 MHz band. Further, the quality of existing 1800 MHz airwaves in the second set of circles is poor, executives at the company explained.

"In the last auction, there was a limited availability of 900 MHz, but there was fallback of enough new 1800 MHz," he said. "In this auction, you simply lose your business, which means thousands of crores invested into the business will be lost," Pieters said, pointing towards an immense hit to global investor confidence in India.

The company, which has begun to see the impact of data growth in India, posted an almost 12% increase in organic service revenue for the first half of fiscal 2015 at about Rs 20,642 crore, while operating profit was up nearly 12%. Data revenue rose 65.5% to Rs 2,552 crore. For the UK-based Vodafone Group, organic service revenue fell 2.8%, reflecting pressures from competition, regulation and weak economies in Europe. The company doesn't provide country-wise net profit figures. "In India, growth has accelerated, stimulated by investment in our 3G network," Vodafone Group CEO Vittorio Colao said in a statement.

 

DATA USAGE

Data usage grew 94.6%, primarily driven by mobile Internet customer growth, while active data customers totalled 57.2 million, including 13.6 million 3G customers and 33.9 million smartphone users as of September 30. The company had 173.8 million customers at the end of September.

Reduced competition has allowed operators to cut down on promotional offers such as free-call minutes and increase effective call rates. Additionally, a surge in the use of smartphones has pushed up premium high-margin data services, boosting growth for mobile phone operators. These have helped telcos to improve key parameters such as average revenue per user (ARPU) and average realisation per minute (ARPM).

 

DIFFICULT TO DO BUSINESS IN INDIA: VODAFONE

 

Country's second largest mobile operator Vodafone India today said conditions for doing business in the country have not improved much in the last few months but it is "hopeful that change will happen".


"Its not nice to say, but it is reality. It is not like we said 'its difficult to do business in India', it is objectively difficult to do business in India..," Vodafone India Managing Director and CEO Marten Pieters said when asked if conditions have improved for doing business.


"Coming to the telecom industry, we have not seen much change so far but we are hopeful that change will happen," he added.


Pieters cited the latest World Bank report wherein India has dropped by two places as compared to last year in the ease of doing business.


India ranked 142 among the 189 countries surveyed for the latest World Bank's 'Ease of Doing Business' report, a drop by two places from the last year's ranking.


Citing the example of 3G intra-circle roaming (ICR) pacts among operators, Pieters said the government should have ended the matter when telecom tribunal TDSAT allowed them to continue with the arrangements, but the government decided to do otherwise.



The British telecom major is facing a tax liability of over Rs 11,200 crore, along with interest, on its 2007 acquisition of Honk Kong-based Hutchison Whampoa's stake in India's telecom major, Hutchison Essar. The India unit is its subsidiary.


Vodafone India has moved the Delhi High Court alleging the Centre is indulging in "arm-twisting" and "coercive" tactics by refusing to sign its unified licence (UL) till it unconditionally accepts the "restrictive" clauses in the licence.

 

VODAFONE INDIA MD MARTEN PIETERS EARNS NICKNAME OF ‘CRUSADER” FOR THE TELECOM INDUSTRY

 

UMBAI: Marten Pieters, the Vodafone India Managing Director, is doing what his Indian counterparts would love to do: take on the government at every turn - be it on spectrum, on tax or on other regulatory issues, earning him the nickname of 'Crusader" for the telecom industry.

 

Pieters, 61, has been at the head of Vodafone in India since February 2009, making him the longest serving chief of any Indian telecom company and the only one to have seen all spectrum auctions in India. He doesn't flinch when speaking his mind whether it may offend regulators, peers or even staff. He speaks his mind, always on record, always consistent, and has come to be appreciated for the quality, say several people who have worked with him or at rival telecom companies. He is also arguably the most outspoken expat CEO in India. "He (Pieters) has been more vocal, but his positions have been in line with rest of the industry. He also has a bigger stake in the outcome," said Rajan Mathews,general secretary of GSM operators' apex industry body, COAI, which represents Vodafone India, apart from larger rival Bharti Airtel. Pieters is the chairman of COAI as well.

 

Pieters declined to comment for or on the article.

 

Vodafone is the country's second largest telecom company after Bharti Airtel. The Indian unit of the British telecom giant, which has invested some Rs60,000 crore in India, including capex and spectrum costs, and has over 174 million subscribers has had a rough time in India since it entered the country in 2007 by buying out Hutchison Whampoa's stake in what was then called Hutchison Essar, and now is Vodafone India.

Its landmark Rs20,000 crore withholding tax dispute with the government related to its 2007 stake buy is yet to be resolved despite a Supreme Court verdict in the company's favour. It has seen two bruising spectrum auctions - 3G in 2010 and 2G in 2014 - which increased debt and, along with the industry, is emerging from a period of intense competition which had hurt revenue and profitability. The industry in general still awaits what it calls favourable M&A laws, apart from long-awaited rules on sharing and trading in airwaves.

No wonder, Pieters, a Dutch national, is a skeptic.

In his latest salvo fired at the government, he said, "This is a difficult business to be in. I find it difficult to deal with the regulation because it's very often too complicated and it is actually not really helping the business or even the country."

Recently, at another public forum, he said: "Yes, it is difficult to do business in India, that's the general perception I think of foreign companies and that is not just in telecom".

Last year, when the incumbents including Vodafone and Bharti Airtel were challenging refarming of airwaves in the 900MHz band they were currently using, there were fears that the players may need to shut operations or transfer them to potential winners of their airwaves. Pieters' was unequivocal, nearly threatening, when he said the government shouldn't and couldn't let that situation develop.

"Between Bharti and us, we have 60% of the market share in Mumbai and Delhi," Pieters said. "If you allow these to be shut, the cities will go dark, you won't be able to make calls. Even decision-making will come to a standstill."

Currently, when Vodafone, along with Idea, Bharti Airtel and Reliance Communications are facing a similar situation with their airwaves in circles where their permits are expiring about to be auctioned, Pieters read out the repercussions frankly, while the other telcos have been far more measured in their reactions.

"We will see if we have business. The outcome of the second round of auctions will decide how sustainable we are in India. The situation in the upcoming circles is very dismal," Pieters said. The others' reactions ranged from "We will take all measures to protect our spectrum, but we have enough options" to "We don't face any such situation as we had hedged our bets in the last auctions".
