印度电信市场,一旦拥有12个球员,减少垄断吗?很明显迹象。
上周Vi的希望破灭时,最高法院驳回了电信球员修改请求计算调整后的总收益(AGR)会费。形势如此严峻德意志银行(Deutsche Bank)在其研究报告中建议,政府必须采取国家控制的Vi通过合并Bharat Sanchar Nigam说(BSNL)并从破产注资拯救它。
Vi是面临着一个巨大的债务1.8卢比的,只要其中一个惊人的1.5十万的卢比的必须向政府支付。递延频谱费站在96270卢比,AGR费在58400卢比,23080卢比的银行债务。
Vi支付7854卢比对AGR会费而必须支付的平衡10部分通过3月31日,2031年。
还没有宣布在25000卢比的筹款计划。计划筹集更多的资金——通过出售其数据中心,另外10亿美元资产和家庭宽带光纤单元。但分析师怀疑任何投资者愿意基金Vi看着它的财务状况。
有报道称,六世再次计划文件审查请愿书在SC AGR等待政府的决定在其请求推迟付款较频谱超过8200卢比,定于2022年4月。
政府干预的最后一根稻草可以缓解措施的形式支持境况不佳的沃达丰的想法。
与此同时,六世和Bharti Airtel失去了大量的用户在5月,电信监管机构的数据显示火车。
Vi下跌42.8多数用户可能在2.77亿用户现在,总用户Bharti Airtel失去了总碱3.48亿46.13多数用户。
最大的电信玩家依赖Jio继续添加新用户。它增加了35.54十万的手机用户在4.31亿年可能会提高其用户基础。
此举可能是紧随其后的是六世通过中断其Rs 49包pan-India水平在接下来的几天里。六世已经在一些市场。预付费用户占超过90%的用户基础。这是多年来的首次上调。上次徒步旅行是由所有三个电信运营商在2019年12月。
电信公司一直在谈论需要提高关税来提高每用户平均收入(ARPU)并最终颠覆行业的财务状况,自从进入Jio的依赖。早些时候,Vi和Airtel邮资已付的企业用户提高了关税。
但这关税上调不会足够的Vi。球是在政府的法院。

<\/figure>Will the Indian telecom market, which once boasted of 12 players, be reduced to a duopoly? Signs are quite visible.
Vi hopes were dashed last week when the Supreme Court dismissed telecom players' modification plea for calculating adjusted gross revenue (AGR) dues. The situation has become so grim that Deutsche Bank<\/a> in its research note recommended that the government must take state control of Vi by merging it with Bharat Sanchar Nigam (BSNL)<\/em><\/a> and recapitalise it to save it from going bankrupt.
Vi is reeling under a huge debt of 1.8 lakh crore, out of which a staggering 1.5 lakh crore has to be paid to the government. Deferred spectrum dues stand at Rs 96,270 crore, AGR dues at Rs 58,400 crore, and a bank debt of Rs 23,080 crore.
<\/div><\/div><\/figure>
Vi has paid Rs 7854 crore towards AGR dues while the balance has to be paid in 10 installments through March 31, 2031.
There is no announcement yet on its fundraising plan of Rs 25,000 crore. It plans to raise more funds - another $1 billion by selling its data centre, optic fibre assets and home broadband unit. But analysts are skeptical about any investor willing to fund Vi looking at its financial position.
There are reports that Vi is again planning to file a review petition in the SC on AGR as it awaits a decision from the government on its request to defer it\u2019s spectrum payment of over Rs 8,200 crore which is due in April 2022.
The last straw could be government intervention in the form of some relief measure to support the ailing Vodafone Idea<\/a>.
Meanwhile, both Vi and Bharti Airtel have lost a substantial number of subscribers<\/em><\/a> in the month of May, according to the data from telecom regulator TRAI.
Vi lost 42.8 lakh users in May with a total subscriber at 277 million users now, while Bharti Airtel<\/a> lost 46.13 lakh users with a total base of 348 million.
The largest telecom player Reliance Jio<\/a> continued to add new users. It added 35.54 lakh mobile users in May raising its subscriber base to 431 million.

The largest telecom player Reliance Jio<\/a> continued to add new users. It added 35.54 lakh mobile users in May raising its subscriber base to 431 million.
<\/div><\/div>Despite the loss, Airtel<\/a> removed its entry level Rs 49 plan for prepaid users, making its entry level plan 60% costlier at Rs 79. Though, it increased the usage time.
The move is likely to be followed by Vi by discontinuing its Rs 49 pack at a pan-India level over the next few days. Vi has already made the move in some markets. Prepaid users account for over 90 per cent of their subscriber base. This is the first hike in as many years. The last hike was done by all the three telecom operators in December 2019.
Both telcos have been talking about a need to raise tariffs to improve average revenue per user (ARPU)<\/em><\/a> and ultimately financial health of the sector which has seen disruption since the entry of Reliance Jio. Earlier, Vi and Airtel both had raised tariffs for postpaid corporate users.
But this tariff hike won\u2019t be sufficient for struggling Vi. The ball is in the government\u2019s court.
