政府考虑收购沃达丰Idea象征性股份
这个想法是为了减轻投资者的担忧，并帮助公司筹集资金以改善运营。
新德里:政府对象征性入股持开放态度沃达丰的想法一位知情人士表示，作为该中心努力的一部分，该中心将把该公司所欠的部分会费转换为现金，以增强投资者对这家亏损电信公司未来的信心。
这位知情人士说，政府还可能保留在四年后将更多会费转换为股权的选择权，但有条件。
他对印度经济时报说:“内阁可能会在周三做出决定，但还不确定。”
“政府不会注入资金”
代币股份的数量，以及是否会以股权或任何其他工具的形式，尚未决定。
他表示:“政府不会注入资金，只有公司所欠的部分会费可以转换为政府的股份。”
这个想法是为了减轻投资者的担忧，并帮助公司筹集资金以改善运营。
“政府对管理公司业务不感兴趣——那最好留给管理层。这个想法只是为了帮助电信业行业仍然是一个三家公司的市场。”
尽管尝试了近一年，沃达丰Idea仍未能完成其2500亿卢比的融资计划。6月，Aditya Birla集团董事长Kumar Mangalam Birla曾写信给政府，表示除非政府提供一些缓解措施，否则电信公司将无法生存，甚至提出将沃达丰Idea 27.66%的ABG股份转让给一家可能有助于重振公司的国有实体。Birla曾表示，电信行业缺乏生存能力是其无法筹集资金的主要原因。
沃达丰集团持有Vi 44.39%的股份;剩下的就交给公众了。
沃达丰Idea股价周二在印度证交所上涨9.2%，收于8.69卢比。投资者希望政府将在周三的会议上为该行业提供救助方案，这可能缓解沃达丰Idea眼下的现金流困境，并有助于维持印度电信行业由三家私营企业组成的现状Reliance Jio Infocomm而且Bharti Airtel．国营的Bharat Sanchar Nigam有限公司是印度第四大电信公司。
据《印度经济时报》9月8日报道，除了未来降低频谱使用费(SUC)外，印度电信部(DoT)还提议暂停AGR和频谱支付四年，以改善负债累累的行业的健康状况，并保留三家私营企业市场。
AGR暂停4年，印度计划防止jio领导的双头垄断
政府还在评估是否收购财务陷入困境的沃达丰Idea的一小部分股份，以减轻投资者对这家电信公司未来的担忧。
其他重要建议包括减少银行担保，重新定义AGR以排除“非电信”项目，并允许电信公司放弃未使用的频谱。当局并没有建议调低牌照费。
根据提议，在四年的时间里，如果该公司能够改善其经营业绩，但仅因支付会费而受到阻碍，政府可以介入并将其中的一部分转换为股权。
上述知情人士表示:“转换将基于公司欠政府的本金，不包括利息。”
专家称，推迟四年的选择可能会使该公司的AGR支出增加近3600亿卢比，缓解其当前的现金流问题。
此外，沃达丰Idea每年支付约500亿卢比的许可费和SUC，其中前者约为320亿卢比。此外，从2022年4月开始，它需要每年支付约1.4亿卢比的频谱费用。
分析师担心，沃达丰Idea可能在23财年未能兑现年度付款承诺(包括AGR分期付款和频谱付款)约2300亿卢比，将其推向破产。
银行呼吁政府减轻对印度沃达丰Idea的压力
沃达丰Idea 6月份提交给证券交易所的最新文件显示，截至6月30日，沃达丰Idea的总债务为1.9万亿卢比，包括1.06万亿卢比的延期频谱支付义务和6218亿卢比的调整后总收入负债。

<\/figure>New Delhi: The government is open to picking up a token stake in Vodafone Idea<\/a> by converting a part of the dues the company owes as part of the Centre\u2019s efforts to instil confidence in investors about the future of the loss-making telco, said a person familiar with the matter.
The government may also keep the option of converting more of those dues into equity after four years, subject to conditions, the person said.
\u201cA decision could be taken by the Cabinet on Wednesday, but there\u2019s no certainty,\u201d he told ET.
<\/div><\/div>In its April-June earnings report, Vodafone Idea said total gross debt as of June 30 was Rs 1.92 lakh crore, comprising deferred spectrum payment obligations of Rs 1.06 lakh crore and AGR liability of Rs 62,180 crore that are due to the government, and debt from banks and financial institutions of Rs 23,400 crore. Cash and cash equivalents were Rs. 920 crore and net debt stood at Rs. 1.91 lakh crore.
\u2018Govt won\u2019t infuse fund\u2019
<\/strong>
The quantum of the token stake and whether it would be in the form of equity shares or any other instrument is yet to be decided.
\u201cThere will be no infusion of funds from the government, only some of the dues which the company owes could be converted into the government's stake,\u201d he said.
The idea is to allay investor concerns and help the company raise funds in order to improve operations.
\u201cThe government is not interested in running the company\u2019s operations--that is best left to the management. The idea is simply to help the telecom industry<\/a> remain a three-player market,\u201d the person said.
Despite trying for nearly a year, Vodafone Idea has failed to conclude its planned Rs 25,000-crore fundraising plan. In June, Aditya Birla Group chairman Kumar Mangalam Birla<\/a> had written to the government that the telco won't survive unless the government provided some relief, and had even offered to give up the ABG stake of 27.66% in Vodafone Idea to a state-owned entity that could help revive the company. Birla had said the telecom sector's lack of viability was the chief reason for its inability to raise money.

Vodafone Group<\/a> has a 44.39% stake in Vi; the rest is with the public.
Vodafone Idea shares surged 9.2% to close at Rs8.69 on the BSE Tuesday. Investors hope the government will clear a relief package for the sector at its meeting on Wednesday, which could ease Vodafone Idea\u2019s immediate cash flow woes and help maintain India\u2019s telecom sector as one that has three private sector companies, the other two being Reliance Jio Infocomm<\/a> and Bharti Airtel<\/a>. State-run Bharat Sanchar Nigam Ltd. is the fourth telco in India.
As reported by ET on September 8, the Department of Telecommunications (DoT) has proposed a four-year moratorium on AGR and spectrum payments apart from a reduction in the spectrum usage charge (SUC) prospectively, among measures to improve the health of the debt-laden sector and retain a three-private player market.
