“第二季度是一个典型的弱者和宵禁跨州将会阻止很多离线充电。转移到另一个网络时完全依靠手机不会发生,”一个孟买资深电信分析师说。
他预计Airtel和Jio受到波动的下降与2 - 3百万小客户分别加入他们。“这可能会受益沃达丰的想法(Vi)将在本季度继续看到客户流失但以较慢的速度,”他补充道。
行业高管同意。
“封锁和宵禁将产生影响。学校有两个月的假期,这将意味着更少的当季充电这将再次显示,"电信一位高管表示。以防止任何延迟的SIM卡购买,Airtel公司最近宣布,将做送货上门的SIM卡。
据电信专家拉吉夫•沙玛订户增加的速度虽然不会削弱每用户平均收入(ARPU)。“自添加用户ARPU不会影响发生从金字塔的底部。然而,如果经济放缓的邮资已付的客户细分,然后电信公司会觉得影响”。
他补充说,经济总值的增加是一个运动的结果,通常当预付费客户从一个状态转移到另一个,他们的SIM卡的状态。因为宵禁已经停止运动,总值增加将减少。
这些延迟,也将意味着比预期晚关税上调反过来将确保Vi仍然是竞争对手Airtel和Jio偷猎地面,甚至在束缚。
一个美国银行证券报告说,“Covid病例上升和选择性锁定/限制运动影响净增加以及消费者信心,我们看到潜在的关税上调的风险进一步推迟”。它补充说,“Vi是最脆弱的,“由于其较弱的资产负债表。

<\/figure>Mumbai: Top two telcos<\/a> Reliance Jio<\/a> and Bharti Airtel may add 2-3 million fewer subscribers in the April-June quarter each as lockdowns continue, recharges fall, schools close for summer vacations bringing down recharges for online classes and dependency on the network prevents customers from shifting.\"The April-June quarter is a typical weak one and curfews across states will prevent many from offline recharges. A shift to another network when one is completely dependent on their phone won't happen,\" said a Mumbai-based senior telecom analyst.
He expects Airtel and Jio to be hit by the drop in churn with 2-3 million lesser customers joining them respectively. \"This may benefit Vodafone Idea<\/a> (Vi) which will continue to see customer losses in this quarter but at a slower pace,\" he added.
<\/div><\/div>In the January-March quarter, Jio added 15.4 million and ended the period with 426.2 million users. Although Airtel and Vi are yet to announce their fourth quarterly results, the Sunil Mittal-led telco had added over 15 million users to end the December ended quarter with 336 million. Vi had continued to lose users and closed that quarter with 269.8 million subscribers.
Senior executives in the sector agree as well.

\"Lockdown and curfews will have an impact. Schools have a two-month holiday and this will mean fewer recharges which will again show in the quarter,\" said a senior telecom executive. To prevent any lag of SIM<\/a> buys, Airtel had recently announced that it will do home delivery of SIM cards.
According to telecom expert Rajiv Sharma, the reduced pace of subscriber additions though will not dent the average revenue per user (ARPU). \"ARPU will not be impacted since addition of subscribers happens from the bottom of the pyramid. However, if the slowdown is in the post-paid customer segment, then telcos will feel the impact\".
<\/div><\/div>In the fourth quarter of the just ended fiscal, Jio had clocked an ARPU of Rs 138.2, while in the third quarter Airtel and Vi had ARPUs of Rs 166 and Rs 121, respectively.
He added that gross additions are a result of movement in the economy where typically when pre-paid customers move from a state to another, they get the SIM of that state . Since curfews have stopped that movement, gross additions will see a decline.
These delays will also mean a later than expected tariff hike which in turn will ensure Vi remains a poaching ground for rivals Airtel and Jio , even within the constrictions.
A BoFa Securities<\/a> report said, \"Rising Covid cases and selective lockdowns\/restrictions on movement would impact net adds as well as consumer sentiment, and we see the risks of potential tariff hike further pushed back\". It added that \u201cVi would be the most vulnerable,\u201d given its weaker balance sheet.

\"Lockdown and curfews will have an impact. Schools have a two-month holiday and this will mean fewer recharges which will again show in the quarter,\" said a senior telecom executive. To prevent any lag of SIM<\/a> buys, Airtel had recently announced that it will do home delivery of SIM cards.
According to telecom expert Rajiv Sharma, the reduced pace of subscriber additions though will not dent the average revenue per user (ARPU). \"ARPU will not be impacted since addition of subscribers happens from the bottom of the pyramid. However, if the slowdown is in the post-paid customer segment, then telcos will feel the impact\".
<\/div><\/div>In the fourth quarter of the just ended fiscal, Jio had clocked an ARPU of Rs 138.2, while in the third quarter Airtel and Vi had ARPUs of Rs 166 and Rs 121, respectively.
He added that gross additions are a result of movement in the economy where typically when pre-paid customers move from a state to another, they get the SIM of that state . Since curfews have stopped that movement, gross additions will see a decline.
These delays will also mean a later than expected tariff hike which in turn will ensure Vi remains a poaching ground for rivals Airtel and Jio , even within the constrictions.
A BoFa Securities<\/a> report said, \"Rising Covid cases and selective lockdowns\/restrictions on movement would impact net adds as well as consumer sentiment, and we see the risks of potential tariff hike further pushed back\". It added that \u201cVi would be the most vulnerable,\u201d given its weaker balance sheet.

<\/a><\/div>High price, migration to 5G from 2G\/4G, among factors for successful 5G implemention in India: Ind-Ra<\/h4><\/a><\/div><\/div>
\"Lockdown and curfews will have an impact. Schools have a two-month holiday and this will mean fewer recharges which will again show in the quarter,\" said a senior telecom executive. To prevent any lag of SIM<\/a> buys, Airtel had recently announced that it will do home delivery of SIM cards.
According to telecom expert Rajiv Sharma, the reduced pace of subscriber additions though will not dent the average revenue per user (ARPU). \"ARPU will not be impacted since addition of subscribers happens from the bottom of the pyramid. However, if the slowdown is in the post-paid customer segment, then telcos will feel the impact\".
<\/div><\/div>In the fourth quarter of the just ended fiscal, Jio had clocked an ARPU of Rs 138.2, while in the third quarter Airtel and Vi had ARPUs of Rs 166 and Rs 121, respectively.
He added that gross additions are a result of movement in the economy where typically when pre-paid customers move from a state to another, they get the SIM of that state . Since curfews have stopped that movement, gross additions will see a decline.
These delays will also mean a later than expected tariff hike which in turn will ensure Vi remains a poaching ground for rivals Airtel and Jio , even within the constrictions.
A BoFa Securities<\/a> report said, \"Rising Covid cases and selective lockdowns\/restrictions on movement would impact net adds as well as consumer sentiment, and we see the risks of potential tariff hike further pushed back\". It added that \u201cVi would be the most vulnerable,\u201d given its weaker balance sheet.
