深度分析:动荡决定了沃达丰的印度之旅

沃达丰并不是唯一一家在印度遇到困难的外国电信公司。包括Etisalat, Maxis和Telenor在内的几家全球电信公司都在印度试过运气，但结果几乎都是一样的。最后，他们被迫离开了这个国家。

深度分析:动荡决定了沃达丰的印度之旅

作者:Gagandeep Kaur

沃达丰在该国的发展并非一帆风顺。从2007年开始在印度的旅程，到与Essar集团的斗争，再到与印度政府正在进行的追溯性税收纠纷，该公司在印度经历了动荡的时期。

即便如此，最近的调整后总收入(AGR)判决威胁到它在该国的生存。在我们讨论AGR的威胁与该公司之前面临的挑战有何不同之前，让我们简单看看动荡是如何定义沃达丰在印度的存在的。

历史的视角

2007年5月，沃达丰(Vodafone)在16个圈子里只有2800万用户沃达丰的想法)拥有超过2.5亿用户，覆盖各行各业(服务领域)。

沃达丰2007年收购和记黄埔67%的股份，进入印度市场后，为了继续运营，不断更换合作伙伴。该公司在2007年收购Hutchison Essar电信服务时，与印度所得税部门(Indian Income tax Department)发生了25亿美元的税务纠纷。关键问题是，印度政府认为该交易涉及购买一家印度公司的资产，因此应在印度缴税。

沃达丰在荷兰的子公司在开曼群岛以112亿美元的价格收购了和记电讯在Hutchison Essar的股份。虽然大法院做出了有利于沃达丰的判决，但这一问题仍未得到解决。

印度政府对法律进行了追溯性修改，并要求补缴2210亿印度卢比的税款。印度在这方面的上诉去年被一个国际仲裁法庭驳回。此次听证会预计将于今年9月在新加坡举行。

后来，该公司与以前的Idea Cellular结成联盟，以抵御2016年穆凯什·安巴尼的Reliance Jio进入后释放的竞争强度。沃达丰集团该公司持有沃达丰Idea 44%的股份，而ABG持有26%的股份。这一合作还创造了该国最大的服务提供商。但显然，这还不够。

从“乐于助人”到“需要帮助”

即使合并后的实体整合了其网络并稳定了业务，调整后的总收入(AGR)判决也造成了另一个打击。主要问题是政府认为非电信服务收入包含在AGR中。

该公司目前的问题与调整后的总营收(AGR)有关，再加上1.8万亿卢比的巨额债务，这意味着沃达丰Idea迫切需要资金注入。它需要在2021年12月至2022年3月期间支付2250亿卢比。然而，它只有35亿卢比的现金储备。Aditya Birla集团(ABG)和沃达丰集团都决定不再向合资公司注入资金。更糟糕的是，由于电信行业的不确定性，它无法吸引投资。

ET电信报道称，ABG准备将其在沃达丰Idea的股份转让给私人或公共实体，以防止其崩溃。

沃达丰Idea无法吸引投资的一个关键原因是与投资者在公司估值上存在分歧。其次，电信行业未来的道路存在很多不确定性，这阻碍了投资者的投资，”一位高管表示行业参与投资者讨论的专业人士。

接下来的几个月，这家电信公司肯定会非常艰难，除非一位身披闪亮盔甲的投资者出面拯救它。沃达丰Idea是否与国有企业合并BSNL或者被迫减少它运行的圈子数量，它不太可能以目前的形式生存下去。此外，巨额债务和现金流减少削弱了其投资网络升级和扩张的能力，这意味着该公司将难以竞争，”易观梅森的负责人阿什温德·塞西说。

为什么印度不为外国电信公司工作

沃达丰并不是唯一一家在印度遇到困难的外国电信公司。包括Etisalat, Maxis和Telenor在内的几家全球电信公司都在印度试过运气，但结果几乎都是一样的。最后，他们被迫离开了这个国家。

印度有超过10亿人口，不难理解为什么印度对服务提供商有吸引力。此外，这部分人口中有相当大比例的人尚未联网，只有少数几个地区是这样。此外，印度还拥有技术合格的劳动力，而且物有所值，从而增加了印度市场的吸引力。更不用说印度政府正在寻找外国投资。

然而，就像印度的夏天一样，该国的竞争强度可能是无情的。因为ARPU极低，运营规模庞大，所以在其他市场行得通的方法在美国几乎不可能奏效。

对大多数外国电信公司来说，另一个令人震惊的因素是官僚主义的迷宫和不断变化的规章制度。

“服务提供商的外籍人士对不断变化的规定感到惊讶，这些规定大多是受政治驱动的。即使有印度专家的帮助，他们发现自己对印度的事情是如何运作的不知所措。这是外国电信公司无法在印度市场取得成功的关键因素之一，”一位不愿透露姓名的资深业内人士表示。

沃达丰退出印度(如果发生的话)尤其令人痛苦。虽然像阿联酋电信这样的国际电信公司从未能够成为泛印度的服务提供商，但沃达丰是印度的一部分，拥有超过2.5亿用户。多年来，沃达丰的流行广告活动深受印度人喜爱，尤其是以动物园和哈巴狗奇卡为主角的广告，这些广告成为日常对话的一部分。

尽管沃达丰在过去几年经历了种种起起伏伏，但众所周知，沃达丰拥有很高比例的高ARPU客户。沃达丰Idea在印度也拥有大量企业客户。此外，即使在其生存受到威胁的情况下，它仍在继续增加新用户。除了用户，它的资产还包括一个数据中心、频谱和光纤。

该公司擅长在多个地区的不同文化中工作。目前在亚洲、中东和欧洲的超过21个国家设有办事处。在过去几年里，沃达丰只撤出了埃及。

沃达丰目前的处境肯定会削弱印度在吸引外国投资方面的吸引力。沃达丰Idea的存在对于确保印度电信市场不会陷入限制竞争和创新的双头垄断也很重要。一个充满活力的通信行业对印度政府的数字印度愿景至关重要。当该集团盯着印度的不确定性时，该行业和政府利益相关者应该努力寻找一个双赢的解决方案。

Vodafone has hardly had a smooth run in the country. Right from starting its journey in 2007 in India to its battle with Essar Group to the ongoing retrospective tax dispute with the Indian Government, the company has had a turbulent time in India.

Even so, the recent Adjusted Gross Revenue (AGR) judgment threatens its very survival in the country. Before we get to how the AGR threat is different from the previous challenges faced by the company, let's briefly look at how turbulence has defined Vodafone's presence in India.

<\/div><\/div>The historical perspective<\/strong>

Starting with just 28 million subscribers across 16 circles in May 2007, Vodafone (now part of Vodafone Idea<\/a>) has more than 250 million subscribers with a presence in all circles (service areas).

Since the time it started its sojourn in India in 2007 by acquiring a 67% stake from Hutchison, Vodafone moved from one partner to another to continue its operations. It was involved in a $2.5 billion tax dispute with the Indian Income Tax Department over its purchase of Hutchison Essar Telecom services in 2007. The key issue was that the Indian Government believed that the transaction involved the purchase of assets of an Indian company and, therefore, liable to be taxed in India.

Vodafone's subsidiary in the Netherlands had acquired Hutchison Telecommunication's stake in Hutchison Essar for $11.2 billion in a transaction in the Cayman Islands. The issue is yet to be resolved even though the Supreme Court passed the judgment in favor of Vodafone.

The Indian Government changed the law retroactively and demanded INR22,100 crore in back taxes. India's appeal in this regard was rejected by an international arbitration court last year. The hearing, in this case, is expected to start in Singapore in September this year.

<\/div><\/div>Later, the company formed an alliance with erstwhile Idea Cellular to sustain against the competitive intensity unleashed with the entry of Mukesh Ambani's Reliance Jio in 2016. Vodafone Group<\/a> owns a 44% stake, while ABG holds a 26% stake in Vodafone Idea. The partnership also created the country's largest service provider. But clearly, this was not enough.

From `happy to help' to need help<\/strong>

Even as the merged entity integrated its network and stabilized operations, the Adjusted Gross Revenue (AGR) judgment dealt another blow. The primary issue is that the Government believes that the non-telecom service revenue is included in the AGR.

The company's current problem relating to Adjusted Gross Revenue (AGR) coupled with a massive debt of INR1800 billion means that Vodafone Idea desperately needs a capital infusion. It needs to pay INR 225 billion between December 2021 and March 2022. However, it just has INR350 crore of cash reserves. Both Aditya Birla Group (ABG) and Vodafone Group have decided not to infuse any more capital in the joint venture. Worse, it is unable to attract investment because of uncertainty surrounding the telecom sector.

ET Telecom report says that the ABG is ready to give up its stake in Vodafone Idea to a private or public entity to prevent its collapse.

\"A key reason why Vodafone Idea is unable to attract investment is because of disagreement with investors over the company's valuation. Secondly, there is a lot of uncertainty regarding the road ahead for the telecom sector, which prevents investors from investing,\" says a senior industry<\/a> professional who is part of investor discussions.

The next few months promise to be incredibly hard for the telco unless and until an investor in shining armor appears to rescue it. \"Whether Vodafone Idea is merged with state-owned BSNL<\/a> or is forced to reduce the number of circles it operates in, it is unlikely that it will survive in its present form. Further, the massive debt and reduced cash flow diminish its capacity to invest in network upgradation and expansion and this means that the company will struggle to compete,\" says Ashwinder Sethi, Principal at Analysys Mason.

Why India doesn't work for foreign telcos<\/strong>

Vodafone is not the only foreign telco to have faced rough waters in India. Several global telcos, including Etisalat, Maxis and Telenor, have tried their luck in India, but the result is almost always the same. In the end, they are forced to depart from the country.

With more than one billion population, it is not hard to see why India appeals to the service providers. Besides, a significant percentage of this population is yet to be connected, which is true only of few geographies. Further, India also boasts of a technically qualified workforce at value for money rates, thus adding to the lure of the Indian market. Not to mention that the Indian Government is looking for foreign investments.

However, just like Indian summer, the competitive intensity in the country can be relentless. What works in other markets is hardly likely to work here because of extremely low ARPU and the massive scale of operations.

Another factor that comes as a revelation to most foreign telcos is the bureaucratic maze and the changing rules and regulations.

\"The expats in the service providers are taken by surprise by the changing regulations, which are mostly politically driven. Even with help from Indian experts, they find themselves at a loss at how things work in India. This is one of the key factors why the foreign telcos are unable to succeed in the Indian market,\" says a senior industry veteran who wanted to remain anonymous.

Vodafone's exit from India (if it happens) is especially painful. While international telcos, like Etisalat, were never able to establish themselves as pan-India service providers, Vodafone is part of the fabric here, with more than 250 million subscribers. Over the years, Indians were endeared by Vodafone's popular ad campaigns, particularly the ones featuring ZooZoos and the pug Cheeka, which became part of everyday conversations.

Even with all ups and downs over the last few years, Vodafone is known to have a high percentage of high ARPU customers. Vodafone Idea also has a significant number of enterprise customers in India. Besides, it continues to add new subscribers even when its survival is at stake. Apart from subscribers, its assets include a data center, spectrum and fiber.

The company is adept at working in different cultures in several geographies. It is present in more than 21 countries in Asia, Middle East and Europe. Over the last few years, Vodafone has withdrew only from Egypt.

Vodafone's present circumstances are sure to diminish India's appeal in attracting foreign investment. Vodafone Idea\u2019s presence is also important to ensure that Indian telecom market doesn\u2019t slip into a duopoly which limits competition and innovation. A vibrant communications industry is vital to the Digital India vision of the Indian Government. As the group stares at uncertainty in India, the industry and the Government stakeholders should work towards finding a win-win solution.
