Along with the prospective investors, Mukesh Ambani<\/a>’s family office was supposed to coinvest to reaffirm his commitment to the business.
The search is on to find alternative partners or tweak the terms. No term sheet has been signed between both sides, added the officials in the know. Talks can, however, resume if the two sides bridge their differences, said officials.
After divesting its towers, Reliance<\/a>’s efforts to unlock value in the fibre<\/a> company were part of a series of time bound asset monetisation initiatives.
These are critical for the group to become net-debt free over the next 18 months.
Last Friday, Reliance agreed to transfer $15 billion (Rs 1.08 lakh crore) of its $23 billion (Rs 1.61 lakh crore) telecom liabilities into a standalone entity and bring Jio’s core telecom asset and various organic and inorganic digital investments under a 100% owned Jio Platforms (JPL), a precursor to onboard a strategic investor in that platform as well.
“All develeraging plans of the tower, fibre assets and oil and chemicals business sale would help reduce debt to near zero,” say Mayank Maheshwari and Parag Gupta, analysts with Morgan Stanley.
THE DEAL DYNAMICS<\/strong>
The broad structure of the prospective fibre trade mirrored that of the recently announced $3.7 billion (about Rs 26,274 crore) tower transaction — a 20-year sale and buy back with an assured return to the investors, said the officials mentioned above. This means that Jio sells the network to the investors and buys it back after 20 years. The equity value of the 700,000 km fibre backbone was pegged at around $8 billion, excluding the liabilities. Reliance is believed to have offered a 9.5% assured return to the potential investors on their equity contribution plus sharing of the revenue upside. The equity return commitment is on account of the fact that Jio would be a major user of the network, while revenue upside refers to sales generated by third parties using the network.
But these have now turned out to be the bone of contention.
“There has never been such a large fibre network built in the country, neither has it ever been monetised. There is still no visibility of how the business and its cash flows will pan out and to what extent Jio will enjoy pricing powers. In such a backdrop, the risk reward ratio offered was not stacking up for the investors,” said an official. Under such circumstances, the prospective investors also wanted to have more operating freedom on governance and pricing flexibility.
Half of the fibre capacity, as per the terms offered by RIL<\/a>, was to be used by Jio for its own users while the rest was meant for third party users. The investors, sources said, however wanted a greater commitment from Jio in terms of usage.
Following the latest earnings call in October, RIL’s management said they are still looking for investors for the Fiber InvIT and discussions with potential investors for subscription of units of the Fibre InvIT “are in progress.”
When contacted with specific queries around the negotiations, an ADIA spokesperson declined to comment. Mails sent to RIL, I Squared Capital and GIC did not generate a response till press time on Wednesday.

CONNECTING BHARAT<\/strong>
Reliance has been targeting 20 million households and 15 million enterprises in the next 12-18 months and is in the process of commercialising its fibre to the home (FTTH) service, after trials encompassing 0.5 million homes. As per Credit Suisse estimates the ramp up is expected to be around ~3 million plus homes by FY22, contributing nearly $200 million (Rs 1,420 crore) EBITDA.
“We expect a similar contribution from enterprises segment by FY22. Together, we expect broadband division to contribute to $400-500 million (Rs 2,841-3,551 crore ) to Jio’s EBITDA in FY22,” said Anubhav Aggarwal and Sayantan Maji, analysts with the brokerage.
In the fourth quarter of the financial year ended March 2019, Reliance Jio transferred its tower and fibre assets to two special purpose vehicles (SPVs) owned by the two Sebi-registered InvITs. In April, RIL said the two trusts have acquired 51% stakes each in Jio’s fibre and tower units — Jio Digital Fibre<\/a> Pvt Ltd (JDFPL) and Reliance Jio Infratel Pvt Ltd (RJIPL). The trusts are sponsored by RIL’s 100% subsidiary, Reliance Industrial Investments and Holdings Ltd (RIIHL).
The demerger helped Jio cut liabilities, which amount to Rs 1.07 lakh crore. In July, a consortium led by Brookfield Asset Management agreed to acquire Reliance Jio lnfratel unit in a multi-stage deal. To begin with, Brookfield were to invest Rs 25,215 crore in an infrastructure trust that owns 51% of the telecom tower company. Following the consummation of the transaction, Brookfield and its coinvestment partners were to own 100% of India’s largest telecom tower company with 170,000 towers through the Tower Infrastructure Trust. The proceeds will allow Mukesh Ambani-controlled RIL reduce debt at its telecom unit, Reliance Jio Infocomm, and free up cash to take on rivals. That deal is nearing completion, as per the management.
The latest quarterly numbers show, despite rupee depreciation, the consolidated capitalisation of Reliance Jio fell 51%YoY\/ to Rs 19,100 crore, an eight-quarter low. This in turn allowed a $500 million fall in reported net debt, the first QoQ fall in 14 quarters other than 4QFY19 due to demerger of tower and fibre.

在剥离其塔,依赖解锁的价值的努力纤维公司是一个系列的一部分时间约束资产盈利计划。
这些至关重要的集团成为净债务自由在未来18个月。
上周五,依赖同意转移150亿美元(1.08十万的卢比)的230亿美元(1.61十万的卢比)电信负债成一个独立的实体,使Jio核心电信资产和各种有机和无机数码投资持股100%下Jio平台(JPL),板载的前兆战略投资者在该平台。
“所有develeraging计划的塔,纤维资产和石油和化工业务销售将有助于降低债务接近于零,“说玛雅Maheshwari Parag Gupta,与摩根士丹利(Morgan Stanley)分析师。

潜在的广泛的结构纤维贸易反映最近宣布的37亿美元(约26274卢比)塔事务——20年销售和回购回到投资者保证,上述官员说。这意味着Jio销售网络的投资者和购买后20年。700000公里光纤骨干网的股权价值将在80亿美元左右,扣除负债。依赖被认为是提供9.5%的保证回归潜在投资者的股本+分享贡献的收入上升。股本回报承诺的是,Jio将是一个主要的网络用户,而收入上升是指由第三方使用网络销售。
但这些已经成为争论的焦点。
“从来没有这么大的纤维网络构建,也没有兑现过。仍然没有能见度的业务及其现金流将成功和在多大程度上Jio将享受定价权力。在这样一个背景下,没有提供的风险回报比例叠加的投资者,”一位官员说。在这种情况下,潜在投资者也想有更多的操作自由治理和定价的灵活性。
