BSNL视人力资源转型为转折点
在2022年至2032年的10年期间，平均每年将有近2000名员工退休，这使该公司成为一个更专注于与私营行业企业——Reliance Jio、Bharti Airtel和Vodafone Idea——竞争的组织。

加尔各答和孟买Aditya Birla集团(ABG)没有计划根据现有股东协议行使其购买雅虎股票的选择权沃达丰的想法来自联合发起人，英国沃达丰集团两位知情人士称，该公司将增持27.66%的股份。
根据协议，ABG有权以每股130卢比的价格购买额外的股票沃达丰(Vodafone)沃达丰印度公司与Idea Cellular的合并完成后，该集团将在三年内将其在Vi的持股比例提高至35.5%。这发生在2018年8月31日。
它还可以根据商定的均衡公式，在合并结束后的第四年，以当时Vi的股价购买股票。
如果四年内都没有实现股权均等，英国电信巨头可以在第五年年初至第十年出售所持股份，以达到ABG的水平。沃达丰持有Vi 44.39%的股份。
“这个选项是存在的，但ABG的当务之急不是提高所有权，而是通过迅速完成即将完成的融资来维持Vi的生存，以加强电信公司的4G业务，并装备它来对抗财务实力更强的对手——Reliance Jio和Bharti Airtel一位知情人士告诉《经济时报》。
在过去10个月里，该航空公司一直试图通过债务和股权的混合方式筹集2500亿卢比，但迄今为止尚未达成交易。
上述知情人士表示:“尽管2017年3月宣布的均衡机制没有改变，但在共同发起人层面，没有就ABG从沃达丰购买额外股份进行过对话。”
另一位人士表示，如果ABG有多余的现金来购买沃达丰集团(Vodafone Group)在Vi的股份，它宁愿投资于这家电信公司，以帮助其复苏。ABG和沃达丰集团均坚称，它们不会向沃达丰Idea注入新的股权，尽管后者急需资金。
Vi的股价周三在印度证交所下跌0.48%，收于8.37卢比，市值为24051.52亿卢比。合并后，Vi的股票以49.50卢比的价格开始交易。但自那以后，该公司每个季度都出现亏损，债务膨胀至1.8万亿卢比，用户快速流失，收入市场份额下降，这些都将其股价推低至个位数。
由于调整后的总营收(AGR)会费和缺乏足够的现金产生(3月底为35亿卢比)以及其他因素，该电信公司的生存受到威胁。分析人士表示，这是ABG不愿增持股份的主要原因。
一家领先的外国经纪公司的分析师表示:“如果电信公司破产，即使ABG以当前的低市场价格收购Vi的股份，将其股份增加到35.5%，也不会亏损，有什么保证呢?”
一位高级行业一位熟悉Vi战略的高管表示，投资者原本预期该股会升值。
他说:“当2017年3月宣布均衡机制时，ABG的想法是Vi的股票会上涨，因此引入了每股最低130卢比(收购价格)，假设后来当股票达到250卢比的水平时，伯拉斯就会上涨，但这是不可能的，因为Vi现在被减为廉价股。”
Vi面临总计58254亿卢比的AGR会费，其中已经支付了超过780亿卢比，并且在23财年还面临着31亿美元(2350亿卢比)的现金流缺口，因为它有巨大的支付义务。
它呼吁政府将2022年4月到期的超过820亿卢比的频谱付款推迟一年。除了2500亿卢比的融资计划外，该电信公司还希望通过出售其数据中心、光纤资产和家庭宽带部门再筹集10亿美元你的宽带．

<\/figure>Kolkata & Mumbai: The Aditya Birla Group<\/a> (ABG) has no plans to exercise its option under an existing shareholder pact to buy shares of Vodafone Idea<\/a> from co-promoter, the UK's Vodafone Group<\/a>, and increase its 27.66% stake, two people aware of the matter said.
Under the pact, ABG has the option to buy additional shares at Rs 130 apiece from Vodafone<\/a> Group to raise its holding in Vi to 35.5% within three years of the closure of the merger between Vodafone India and Idea Cellular. That took place August 31, 2018.
It can also buy the shares at the prevailing Vi stock price in the fourth year of the merger closing, under an agreed equalisation formula.
<\/div><\/div>No talks on stake buy
<\/strong>
If equalisation of stakes doesn\u2019t happen even in four years, the UK telecom major can sell its holdings to reach ABG's level from the start of the fifth year to the 10th. Vodafone holds 44.39% of Vi.
\u201cThe option exists, but ABG\u2019s immediate priority is not boosting its ownership but keeping Vi alive by quickly closing the pending fundraise to beef up the telco\u2019s 4G operations and equipping it to fight financially-stronger adversaries--Reliance Jio and Bharti Airtel<\/a>,\u201d one of the persons cited told ET.
The carrier has been trying to raise Rs25,000 crore through a mix of debt and equity for the past 10 months, but hasn't been able to seal a deal so far.
\u201cThough there is no change in the equalisation mechanism announced in March 2017, there have been no conversations at the co-promoters level around ABG buying the additional stake from Vodafone,\u201d said the person.
Another person said that if ABG had surplus cash to buy Vodafone Group's stake in Vi, it would rather have invested in the telco to help revive it. Both ABG and Vodafone Group have maintained that they would not be infusing fresh equity in Vodafone Idea, despite the telco needing immediate funding.

<\/div><\/div>The Aditya Birla Group, Vodafone and Vi did not respond to ET\u2019s queries.
Vi\u2019s shares slipped 0.48% to close at Rs 8.37 on the BSE Wednesday, giving it a market cap of Rs 24,051.52 crore. The Vi stock had started trading at Rs49.50 after the merger. But losses every quarter since then, debt ballooning to Rs1.8 lakh crore and rapid subscriber losses and revenue market share erosion have pushed the stock down to single digits.
The telco's survival is under threat given adjusted gross revenue (AGR) dues and lack of adequate cash generation--Rs350 crore at the end of March--from operations, among other factors. Analysts say this is the main reason for ABG\u2019s reluctance to increase its stake.
\u201cWhat\u2019s the guarantee ABG won\u2019t lose money even if it raises its stake in Vi to 35.5% by acquiring the shares at the prevailing low market price, if the telco were to go bankrupt,\u201d said an analyst at a leading foreign brokerage.

A senior industry<\/a> executive familiar with Vi\u2019s strategy, said the expectation had been that the stock would appreciate.
\u201cWhen the equalisation mechanism was announced in March 2017, the thinking at ABG was that Vi\u2019s stock would pick up, and hence the minimum Rs 130 per share (purchase price) was brought in, assuming that later when the stock hits the Rs 250 level, the Birlas would have gained, but that was not to be as Vi is reduced to a penny stock now,\u201d he said.
Vi faces total AGR dues of Rs 58,254 crore, of which it has paid more than Rs7,800 crore, and is also staring at a potential $3.1 billion (Rs 23,500 crore) shortfall in cash flows in FY23 as it has big upcoming payment obligations.
It has appealed to the government to defer by a year a spectrum payments of over Rs8,200 crore falling due in April 2022. Besides the Rs25,000 crore fund-raising plans, the telco is hoping to raise another $1 billion by selling its data centre, optic fibre assets and home broadband unit YOU Broadband<\/a>.

A senior industry<\/a> executive familiar with Vi\u2019s strategy, said the expectation had been that the stock would appreciate.
\u201cWhen the equalisation mechanism was announced in March 2017, the thinking at ABG was that Vi\u2019s stock would pick up, and hence the minimum Rs 130 per share (purchase price) was brought in, assuming that later when the stock hits the Rs 250 level, the Birlas would have gained, but that was not to be as Vi is reduced to a penny stock now,\u201d he said.
Vi faces total AGR dues of Rs 58,254 crore, of which it has paid more than Rs7,800 crore, and is also staring at a potential $3.1 billion (Rs 23,500 crore) shortfall in cash flows in FY23 as it has big upcoming payment obligations.
It has appealed to the government to defer by a year a spectrum payments of over Rs8,200 crore falling due in April 2022. Besides the Rs25,000 crore fund-raising plans, the telco is hoping to raise another $1 billion by selling its data centre, optic fibre assets and home broadband unit YOU Broadband<\/a>.
