<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure> NEW DELHI: The government is considering a Rs 74,000-crore bailout plan for the bleeding state-owned telecom companies BSNL and MTNL. The strategy involves offering a handsome exit package to thousands of employees, including an additional 5% compensation (ex-gratia) to make the VRS attractive, while providing for 4G<\/a> spectrum and capital expenditure. BSNL is the country’s biggest loss-making PSU (estimated Rs 13,804 crore in FY19), while MTNL was third with a loss of Rs 3,398 crore. Only Air India<\/a> has a higher loss than MTNL. If the package goes through, the two telecom PSUs will overtake AI as the biggest drain on the national exchequer.


Speaking to TOI, officials familiar with the proposal — for which a draft Cabinet note has been circulated — said
4G<\/a> spectrum valued at over Rs 20,000 crore will be allotted by the government and the rollout cost of around Rs 13,000 crore will be paid by the PSUs. The government will foot the bill of a little over Rs 40,000 crore towards the VRS package and early-retirement benefits.

Making a case for the bailout, the department of telecom has argued that closing down of two PSUs will cost Rs 1.2 lakh crore, and thus remains unviable. It said a strategic disinvestment may not find many
takers<\/a>, considering the financial stress in the telecom sector. However, a joint venture option can surely be explored.

BSNL and MTNL have continued to spiral downwards over the last decade or so due to poor management, high staff cost, misdirected and often unwanted government interference, and slow pace in upgrading to new technology. While the telecom industry is fast migrating to 4G and even preparing for 5G, the two PSUs are yet to move to faster and more efficient technology. They have lost market share in the mobile services business. Average revenue per user (ARPU) of these PSUs is at Rs 38 compared to Rs 70 of private players.

The government feels costs of the companies can be reduced substantially by bringing down the retirement age from 60 to 58 and offering a lucrative VRS package. This would enable them to get more aggressive with new tariff plans. The government is also looking at monetising the locked assets of the companies, including towers, land and optical fibre.

新德里:政府正在考虑一项价值74000卢比的救助计划的国有电信公司BSNL和MTNL出血。策略涉及到成千上万的员工提供一个英俊的退出计划,包括一个额外的5%补偿(特惠)使工具有吸引力,同时提供4 g频谱和资本支出。BSNL是该国最大的亏损的事业单位(FY19估计13804卢比),而MTNL第三亏损3398卢比。只有印度航空公司有一个比MTNL更高的损失。如果包通过,这两个电信电源将取代人工智能成为全国最大的消耗财政大臣。

钢铁洪流,官员熟悉的提议——内阁注意一直草案——说4 g频谱价值超过20000卢比将由政府和分配的推广成本约13000卢比将支付的吧。政府将埋单超过40000卢比对工具与包和提前退休福利。



救助的情况下,电信部门认为,关闭两个电源将花费1.2十万的卢比,因此仍然是不可行的。它表示一种战略投资可能不会找到很多接受者考虑到金融压力,在电信部门。然而,合资企业的选择肯定可以探索。

BSNL和MTNL继续向下螺旋在过去十年左右的时间由于管理不善,人员成本高,常常误导和不受欢迎的政府干预,缓慢的升级到新技术。在电信行业快速迁移到4 g,甚至准备5克,这两个电源还没有搬到更快和更高效的技术。他们已经失去了市场份额在移动服务业务。每用户平均收入(ARPU)这些电源在Rs 38比Rs 70私人的球员。

公司的政府感到成本可以大幅减少降低退休年龄从60岁到58和提供一个赚钱的工具与包。这将使他们更积极与新关税的计划。政府也在考虑货币化锁定资产的公司,包括塔、土地和光纤。
