KOLKATA: India's telecom companies are likely to splurge Rs 1 lakh crore on buying spectrum<\/a> across bands in the next auction likely in September, credit rating agency Crisil<\/a> said.
\n
\nThe top three carriers - Bharti Airtel, Vodafone India and Idea Cellular - are likely to account for 55-60% of the total spend to defend their turfs ahead of Reliance Jio Infocomm's entry, it said.
\n
\n\"Unlike previous auctions, operators do not face business continuity issues this time, but we expect reasonably healthy participation as incumbents will ramp up their 3G and 4G
spectrum<\/a> holdings ahead of Reliance Jio's entry,\" Crisil<\/a> Research director Ajay Srinivasan said in an official statement on Monday.
\n
\nThe Union cabinet had last month approved what will be India's biggest spectrum sale, in which the government plans to auction over 2200 MHz of airwaves across 4G bands (700 MHz, 800 MHz, 1800 MHz, 2300 MHz and 2500 MHz bands) and the 2100 MHz 3G band.
\n
\n

\n\tSrinivasan, however, said that he expects bidding for exorbitant 4G airwaves in the coveted 700 MHz band to be \"extremely selective\" as he expects telecom firms to opt for \"less pricey\" airwaves in the 1800 MHz band to plug 4G gaps.<\/p>\n\"We see not more than 10% of the spectrum in the 700 MHz band put up for auction being sold,\" Crisil said. The agency said that it expects to plug 4G holes in leadership circles through less expensive 1800 MHz airwaves.
\n
\nCrisil, however, said it expects telecom operators to lap up nearly half of the spectrum auctioned in the 1800 MHz and 2100 MHz bands, and buy nearly the entire quantum of airwaves auctioned in the 800 MHz and 900 MHz bands.
\n
\nThe agency said it foresees limited bidding interest for airwaves in the 2300 MHz and 2500 MHz bands due to coverage limitations and lack of a mature devices ecosystem in case of the latter. According to Crisil, the initial outgo towards spectrum acquisition in the current fiscal will be Rs 37,000 crore, which is lower than the budgetary estimates of about Rs 56,000 crore.
\n
\nThe agency said that some incumbents may have to \"pony up equity and\/or recalibrate portfolios and exit investments with low returns to reduce pressure on the balance sheet,\" especially since profitability and cash flows are likely to be \"under the pump in the near term as tariffs slide in Reliance Jio's entry\".\n\n<\/body>","next_sibling":[{"msid":53047319,"title":"Panasonic India to develop artificial intelligence tech for smartphones; plans strategic acquisitions","entity_type":"ARTICLE","link":"\/news\/panasonic-india-to-develop-artificial-intelligence-tech-for-smartphones-plans-strategic-acquisitions\/53047319","category_name":null,"category_name_seo":"telecomnews"}],"related_content":[],"msid":53047483,"entity_type":"ARTICLE","title":"Spectrum auction: Healthy participation from Airtel,\nVodafone, Idea likely to counter Reliance Jio","synopsis":"Last month, the Union Cabinet had approved what will be India\u2019s biggest spectrum sale likely in early September, in which the government plans to auction over 2200 Mhz of airwaves across 4G bands (700 MHz, 800 MHz, 1800 MHz, 2300 MHz and 2500 MHz bands), and the 2100 Mhz 3G band.","titleseo":"telecomnews\/indian-telecom-operators-to-spend-rs-1-trillion-in-auction-crisil","status":"ACTIVE","authors":[],"Alttitle":{"minfo":""},"artag":"ET Bureau","artdate":"2016-07-04 18:59:29","lastupd":"2016-09-29 17:21:35","breadcrumbTags":["industry","spectrum","Crisil","spectrumauction2016","Voda2016","Airtel2016","Idea2016"],"secinfo":{"seolocation":"telecomnews\/indian-telecom-operators-to-spend-rs-1-trillion-in-auction-crisil"}}" data-authors="[" "]" data-category-name="" data-category_id="" data-date="2016-07-04" data-index="article_1">

频谱拍卖:健康参与Airtel,沃达丰,想法可能计数器Jio的依赖

上个月,联邦内阁已经批准将印度最大的频谱出售可能在9月初,政府计划在4 g拍卖超过2200兆赫的波段乐队(700 Mhz、800 Mhz、1800 Mhz、2300 Mhz和2500 Mhz频段),3 g和2100 Mhz乐队。

加尔各答:印度的电信公司可能会挥霍在购买1十万的卢比光谱在乐队在接下来的拍卖可能会在9月,信用评级机构Crisil的说。

三大运营商Bharti Airtel,沃达丰印度和想法细胞——很可能占55 - 60%的总花费捍卫自己的领地之前依赖Jio Infocomm的条目,它说。

“与以前的拍卖,运营商不面临业务连续性问题,但我们期望合理健康的参与和当权者会增加他们的3 g和4 g光谱控股的依赖Jio条目”,Crisil的研究主管Ajay Srinivasan周一在一份官方声明中说。

上个月联邦内阁已批准将印度最大的频谱拍卖,政府计划在4 g拍卖超过2200兆赫的波段乐队(700 MHz、800 MHz、1800 MHz、2300 MHz和2500 MHz频段)和3 g 2100 MHz频带。

然而,Srinivasan说,他预计竞购过高的4 g无线电波在梦寐以求的700 MHz频带是“非常有选择性的”他预计电信公司选择“更少的昂贵的”电视广播在1800 MHz频带插头4 g的差距。

“我们看到不超过10%的700 MHz频段的频谱拍卖出售,“Crisil的说。该机构说,它预计将插头4 g洞领导圈通过便宜1800 MHz电波。

,然而Crisil表示,预计电信运营商来圈将近一半的频谱拍卖1800 MHz和2100 MHz乐队,和购买几乎整个量子电波拍卖的800 MHz和900 MHz。

该机构表示,它预计有限招标对电波在2300 MHz和2500 MHz频段由于覆盖范围限制和缺乏一个成熟的生态系统设备的后者。根据Crisil的,最初的支出对光谱采集当前财政将37000卢比,低于预算估计约为56000卢比。

该机构表示,一些当权者可能不得不“交出股票和/或调整投资组合和退出投资低回报减少资产负债表的压力,“尤其是盈利能力和现金流可能是“在短期内泵关税信实Jio下滑的入口”。
