The Indian telecom market is ready to take another hike in its stride as telecom tariffs in India remain amongst the lowest globally, according to analysts.
After two rounds of tariff revisions, a significant pricing power in the sector has returned and it is expected that the top three telcos – Jio, Airtel and Vodafone Idea<\/a> – collectively will add around 35-40 million customers by end-FY23, mainly from the rural markets. Rural mobile tele-density is under 58% compared to over 130% in urban areas.
Another 10-12% tariff hike<\/a> and steady customer gains this fiscal will trigger around 10% on-year ARPU growth for the top three telcos by end-FY23.
The tariff hikes also assume importance, as 5G<\/a> auction is expected to take place in the next few months and telcos need to spend on bidding for 5G<\/a> spectrum.
However, Jio and Airtel may buy pan India 5G spectrum rather than only in urban or tier 1 cities due to competitive pressures while for Vodafone Idea<\/a> it remains unclear how it will fund 5G bids.
Vodafone Idea may bid selectively in their core 3G\/4G circles. The company will be further vulnerable if it doesn’t have pan India 5G spectrum
From India perspective, 5G could be used to provide broadband offerings to homes in sparsely populated areas. BoFA said that carving out 5G networks for campus networks, sports stadiums, Virtual reality & AI use-cases could be a focus area for telcos.
Telcos are likely to roll out 5G services in urban\/semi-urban areas within 3 months to 6 months of getting spectrum. The top vendors in India are well placed to help in a faster delivery.
As part of rollouts for its upcoming 5G network deployments, Jio is using drones to run a pilot around tower surveillance and upkeep as part of its plans to use the technology to survey sites and plan the next wave of tower rollouts. Jio is leveraging its stake buy in drone maker Asteria Aerospace—some three years ago—to test use cases for tower maintenance via drones to drive time and cost efficiencies. During the pilot, drones will be used to check the health of towers and Jio’s assets deployed on them.
Using drones will not only cut down time significantly, but also drive cost efficiencies. It can also reduce time to survey sites by almost 30-40%, adding that while drones won’t cost less than sending a human up a tower, the value derived would be nearly 30% higher.
In another significant development, Vodafone Idea said it is closer to tie up the roughly Rs 20,000 crore more it needs from lenders and external investors to take on rivals.

There are steady signs of Vodafone Idea’s revival, and it is running a “marathon” amid a great sense of “optimism” in the market and within the company, company’s managing director Ravinder Takkar<\/a> said. “Where we are in terms of operational efficiency, in terms of trying to not only consolidate the network, we have started to see that the brand is starting to stick, the brand metrics are improving and going in the right direction, and there's real traction in the market. Customer numbers started to stabilize… three quarters of revenue growth in a row, three quarters of ARPU growth in a row, three quarters of 4G subs growth in a row.”
In a related development, Aditya Birla Group chairman Kumar Mangalam Birla<\/a> said he is ‘absolutely committed’ to staying invested in the ailing telecom operator Vodafone Idea. “As of now, we are very committed. The intent is to find a financial partner to come and invest in the company”.
For the January-March quarter, Vodafone Idea narrowed its net loss to Rs 6544.9 crore from Rs 7234.1 crore in the previous three-month period, supported by the November tariff hikes which helped average revenue per user (ARPU) grow, and a one-time gain. Cash & cash equivalents at March end was Rs 1,460 crore. While the carrier’s overall subscriber base continued to shrink in the fourth quarter — to 243.8 million from 247.2 million in the December quarter — the number of 4G subscribers rose to 118.1 million from 117 million and ARPU grew to Rs124 from Rs115.

电信日记:5 g拍卖临近,另一个移动关税上调在卡片上
经过两轮的关税修订,一个重要的行业定价能力已经恢复,预计三大电信公司——Jio Airtel和沃达丰的主意——集体将增加大约35 - 40 end-FY23几百万客户,主要来自农村市场。农村移动tele-density低于58%相比,超过130%在城市地区。
移动用户需要打起精神为新一轮的移动关税提高在今年下半年行业看起来,以改善其每用户平均收入(ARPU)带来更多的金融稳定。
印度电信市场正准备采取另一个徒步旅行的脚步在印度电信关税仍在全球最低,分析师表示。
经过两轮的关税修订,一个重要的行业定价能力已经恢复,预计三大电信公司——Jio Airtel和沃达丰的想法——集体将增加大约35 - 40 end-FY23几百万客户,主要来自农村市场。农村移动tele-density低于58%相比,超过130%在城市地区。
另一个10 - 12%关税提高本财政将触发和稳定的客户收益约10%同比增长ARPU end-FY23三大电信公司。
关税上涨也假设的重要性,5克拍卖预计将在未来几个月和电信公司需要花在竞标5克光谱。
然而,Jio Airtel可能买锅印度5 g频段,而不是只在城市或一级城市竞争压力而造成的沃达丰的想法目前尚不清楚它将如何基金5 g投标。
沃达丰的想法可能出价有选择地3 g / 4 g核心圈。公司将进一步脆弱如果没有锅印度5 g频谱
来自印度的角度来看,5 g可以用来提供宽带服务在人烟稀少的地区。美国银行说开辟5 g网络校园网络、体育场馆、虚拟现实和AI用例可以是一个电信公司的重点领域。
电信公司可能推出5 g服务在城市和半城市地区3个月到6个月的光谱。印度的顶级供应商准备好帮助更快的交付。
作为产品,即将到来的5 g网络部署,Jio运行试点使用无人机在塔监测和维护的计划使用的技术调查网站和电计划下一波塔。Jio利用股份购买无人驾驶飞机制造商阿斯忒瑞亚Aerospace-some三年年前塔维护测试用例通过无人机开车时间和成本效率。在试点期间,无人机将被用于检查的健康塔和Jio资产部署。
使用无人机不仅会显著减少时间,而且开车的成本效率。它还可以减少网站的时间调查近30 - 40%,并补充说虽然无人机不会花费不到发送人塔,派生值会高近30%。
在另一个重大进展,沃达丰的想法说,这更接近的大约20000卢比更需要从银行和外部投资者的竞争对手。

有稳定的迹象,沃达丰的复兴,并运行一个“马拉松”在一个伟大的“乐观”的市场和公司内部,公司的董事总经理Ravinder Takkar说。“我们在运营效率方面,不仅在试图巩固网络,我们已经开始看到品牌开始,品牌指标改善,向着正确的方向,在市场上有真正的牵引。客户数量开始稳定…连续三个季度的营收增长,四分之三的ARPU连续增长,四分之三的4 g潜艇连续增长。”
在一个相关的开发中,Aditya Birla集团董事长Kumar Mangalam贝拉说他是绝对承诺保持投资的电信运营商沃达丰的想法。“到目前为止,我们很坚定。目的是找到一个金融合作伙伴和投资公司”。
1季度,沃达丰想法缩小其净亏损6544.9卢比从7234.1卢比在前面的三个月,11月关税上涨帮助支持的每用户平均收入(ARPU)增长,和一次性收益。现金和现金等价物在3月1460卢比。虽然承运人的总用户数继续萎缩在第四季度- 2.438亿从2.472亿年的12月当季4 g用户的数量从1.181亿上升到1.17亿,ARPU增长从Rs115 Rs124。
<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>Mobile users need to brace up for another round of mobile tariff hike<\/a> in the second half of this year as the industry<\/a> looks to improve its average revenue per user (ARPU) to bring in more financial stability.
The Indian telecom market is ready to take another hike in its stride as telecom tariffs in India remain amongst the lowest globally, according to analysts.
After two rounds of tariff revisions, a significant pricing power in the sector has returned and it is expected that the top three telcos – Jio, Airtel and Vodafone Idea<\/a> – collectively will add around 35-40 million customers by end-FY23, mainly from the rural markets. Rural mobile tele-density is under 58% compared to over 130% in urban areas.
Another 10-12% tariff hike<\/a> and steady customer gains this fiscal will trigger around 10% on-year ARPU growth for the top three telcos by end-FY23.
The tariff hikes also assume importance, as 5G<\/a> auction is expected to take place in the next few months and telcos need to spend on bidding for 5G<\/a> spectrum.
However, Jio and Airtel may buy pan India 5G spectrum rather than only in urban or tier 1 cities due to competitive pressures while for Vodafone Idea<\/a> it remains unclear how it will fund 5G bids.
Vodafone Idea may bid selectively in their core 3G\/4G circles. The company will be further vulnerable if it doesn’t have pan India 5G spectrum
From India perspective, 5G could be used to provide broadband offerings to homes in sparsely populated areas. BoFA said that carving out 5G networks for campus networks, sports stadiums, Virtual reality & AI use-cases could be a focus area for telcos.
Telcos are likely to roll out 5G services in urban\/semi-urban areas within 3 months to 6 months of getting spectrum. The top vendors in India are well placed to help in a faster delivery.
As part of rollouts for its upcoming 5G network deployments, Jio is using drones to run a pilot around tower surveillance and upkeep as part of its plans to use the technology to survey sites and plan the next wave of tower rollouts. Jio is leveraging its stake buy in drone maker Asteria Aerospace—some three years ago—to test use cases for tower maintenance via drones to drive time and cost efficiencies. During the pilot, drones will be used to check the health of towers and Jio’s assets deployed on them.
Using drones will not only cut down time significantly, but also drive cost efficiencies. It can also reduce time to survey sites by almost 30-40%, adding that while drones won’t cost less than sending a human up a tower, the value derived would be nearly 30% higher.
In another significant development, Vodafone Idea said it is closer to tie up the roughly Rs 20,000 crore more it needs from lenders and external investors to take on rivals.

There are steady signs of Vodafone Idea’s revival, and it is running a “marathon” amid a great sense of “optimism” in the market and within the company, company’s managing director Ravinder Takkar<\/a> said. “Where we are in terms of operational efficiency, in terms of trying to not only consolidate the network, we have started to see that the brand is starting to stick, the brand metrics are improving and going in the right direction, and there's real traction in the market.

In a related development, Aditya Birla Group chairman Kumar Mangalam Birla<\/a> said he is ‘absolutely committed’ to staying invested in the ailing telecom operator Vodafone Idea. “As of now, we are very committed. The intent is to find a financial partner to come and invest in the company”.
For the January-March quarter, Vodafone Idea narrowed its net loss to Rs 6544.9 crore from Rs 7234.1 crore in the previous three-month period, supported by the November tariff hikes which helped average revenue per user (ARPU) grow, and a one-time gain. Cash & cash equivalents at March end was Rs 1,460 crore.

电信日记:5 g拍卖临近,另一个移动关税上调在卡片上
经过两轮的关税修订,一个重要的行业定价能力已经恢复,预计三大电信公司——Jio Airtel和沃达丰的主意——集体将增加大约35 - 40 end-FY23几百万客户,主要来自农村市场。农村移动tele-density低于58%相比,超过130%在城市地区。
移动用户需要打起精神为新一轮的移动关税提高在今年下半年行业看起来,以改善其每用户平均收入(ARPU)带来更多的金融稳定。
印度电信市场正准备采取另一个徒步旅行的脚步在印度电信关税仍在全球最低,分析师表示。
经过两轮的关税修订,一个重要的行业定价能力已经恢复,预计三大电信公司——Jio Airtel和沃达丰的想法——集体将增加大约35 - 40 end-FY23几百万客户,主要来自农村市场。农村移动tele-density低于58%相比,超过130%在城市地区。
另一个10 - 12%关税提高本财政将触发和稳定的客户收益约10%同比增长ARPU end-FY23三大电信公司。
关税上涨也假设的重要性,5克拍卖预计将在未来几个月和电信公司需要花在竞标5克光谱。
然而,Jio Airtel可能买锅印度5 g频段,而不是只在城市或一级城市竞争压力而造成的沃达丰的想法目前尚不清楚它将如何基金5 g投标。
沃达丰的想法可能出价有选择地3 g / 4 g核心圈。公司将进一步脆弱如果没有锅印度5 g频谱
来自印度的角度来看,5 g可以用来提供宽带服务在人烟稀少的地区。美国银行说开辟5 g网络校园网络、体育场馆、虚拟现实和AI用例可以是一个电信公司的重点领域。
电信公司可能推出5 g服务在城市和半城市地区3个月到6个月的光谱。印度的顶级供应商准备好帮助更快的交付。
作为产品,即将到来的5 g网络部署,Jio运行试点使用无人机在塔监测和维护的计划使用的技术调查网站和电计划下一波塔。Jio利用股份购买无人驾驶飞机制造商阿斯忒瑞亚Aerospace-some三年年前塔维护测试用例通过无人机开车时间和成本效率。在试点期间,无人机将被用于检查的健康塔和Jio资产部署。
使用无人机不仅会显著减少时间,而且开车的成本效率。它还可以减少网站的时间调查近30 - 40%,并补充说虽然无人机不会花费不到发送人塔,派生值会高近30%。
在另一个重大进展,沃达丰的想法说,这更接近的大约20000卢比更需要从银行和外部投资者的竞争对手。

有稳定的迹象,沃达丰的复兴,并运行一个“马拉松”在一个伟大的“乐观”的市场和公司内部,公司的董事总经理Ravinder Takkar说。“我们在运营效率方面,不仅在试图巩固网络,我们已经开始看到品牌开始,品牌指标改善,向着正确的方向,在市场上有真正的牵引。客户数量开始稳定…连续三个季度的营收增长,四分之三的ARPU连续增长,四分之三的4 g潜艇连续增长。”
在一个相关的开发中,Aditya Birla集团董事长Kumar Mangalam贝拉说他是绝对承诺保持投资的电信运营商沃达丰的想法。“到目前为止,我们很坚定。目的是找到一个金融合作伙伴和投资公司”。
1季度,沃达丰想法缩小其净亏损6544.9卢比从7234.1卢比在前面的三个月,11月关税上涨帮助支持的每用户平均收入(ARPU)增长,和一次性收益。现金和现金等价物在3月1460卢比。虽然承运人的总用户数继续萎缩在第四季度- 2.438亿从2.472亿年的12月当季4 g用户的数量从1.181亿上升到1.17亿,ARPU增长从Rs115 Rs124。
<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>Mobile users need to brace up for another round of mobile tariff hike<\/a> in the second half of this year as the industry<\/a> looks to improve its average revenue per user (ARPU) to bring in more financial stability.
The Indian telecom market is ready to take another hike in its stride as telecom tariffs in India remain amongst the lowest globally, according to analysts.
After two rounds of tariff revisions, a significant pricing power in the sector has returned and it is expected that the top three telcos – Jio, Airtel and Vodafone Idea<\/a> – collectively will add around 35-40 million customers by end-FY23, mainly from the rural markets. Rural mobile tele-density is under 58% compared to over 130% in urban areas.
Another 10-12% tariff hike<\/a> and steady customer gains this fiscal will trigger around 10% on-year ARPU growth for the top three telcos by end-FY23.
The tariff hikes also assume importance, as 5G<\/a> auction is expected to take place in the next few months and telcos need to spend on bidding for 5G<\/a> spectrum.
However, Jio and Airtel may buy pan India 5G spectrum rather than only in urban or tier 1 cities due to competitive pressures while for Vodafone Idea<\/a> it remains unclear how it will fund 5G bids.
Vodafone Idea may bid selectively in their core 3G\/4G circles. The company will be further vulnerable if it doesn’t have pan India 5G spectrum
From India perspective, 5G could be used to provide broadband offerings to homes in sparsely populated areas. BoFA said that carving out 5G networks for campus networks, sports stadiums, Virtual reality & AI use-cases could be a focus area for telcos.
Telcos are likely to roll out 5G services in urban\/semi-urban areas within 3 months to 6 months of getting spectrum. The top vendors in India are well placed to help in a faster delivery.
As part of rollouts for its upcoming 5G network deployments, Jio is using drones to run a pilot around tower surveillance and upkeep as part of its plans to use the technology to survey sites and plan the next wave of tower rollouts. Jio is leveraging its stake buy in drone maker Asteria Aerospace—some three years ago—to test use cases for tower maintenance via drones to drive time and cost efficiencies. During the pilot, drones will be used to check the health of towers and Jio’s assets deployed on them.
Using drones will not only cut down time significantly, but also drive cost efficiencies. It can also reduce time to survey sites by almost 30-40%, adding that while drones won’t cost less than sending a human up a tower, the value derived would be nearly 30% higher.
In another significant development, Vodafone Idea said it is closer to tie up the roughly Rs 20,000 crore more it needs from lenders and external investors to take on rivals.

There are steady signs of Vodafone Idea’s revival, and it is running a “marathon” amid a great sense of “optimism” in the market and within the company, company’s managing director Ravinder Takkar<\/a> said. “Where we are in terms of operational efficiency, in terms of trying to not only consolidate the network, we have started to see that the brand is starting to stick, the brand metrics are improving and going in the right direction, and there's real traction in the market. Customer numbers started to stabilize… three quarters of revenue growth in a row, three quarters of ARPU growth in a row, three quarters of 4G subs growth in a row.”
In a related development, Aditya Birla Group chairman Kumar Mangalam Birla<\/a> said he is ‘absolutely committed’ to staying invested in the ailing telecom operator Vodafone Idea. “As of now, we are very committed. The intent is to find a financial partner to come and invest in the company”.
For the January-March quarter, Vodafone Idea narrowed its net loss to Rs 6544.9 crore from Rs 7234.1 crore in the previous three-month period, supported by the November tariff hikes which helped average revenue per user (ARPU) grow, and a one-time gain. Cash & cash equivalents at March end was Rs 1,460 crore. While the carrier’s overall subscriber base continued to shrink in the fourth quarter — to 243.8 million from 247.2 million in the December quarter — the number of 4G subscribers rose to 118.1 million from 117 million and ARPU grew to Rs124 from Rs115.
