MUMBAI: Russia’s Sistema<\/a> has emerged as the highest bidder for the remaining assets of Anil Ambani-owned Reliance Communications at a total value of $1.5 billion, said three people familiar with the developments. The assets comprise overseas and enterprise telecom<\/a> business and data centres.
\n
\nSistema JFSC’s bid stands at $1.2 billion (Rs 7,800 crore) in addition to about $300 million (Rs 2,000 crore) that Reliance Communications owes Sistema.
\n
The Russian company is looking to fully buy out the Indian telco, but may have to do so in parts, said one of the persons mentioned above. Last week, Sistema made a bid for
RCom<\/a>’s undersea cables, data centres and domestic enterprise business.
\n
“At the moment, the asset could even be valued at $2 bn, but that value is fast eroding as costs are mounting,” said one person close to the details. This sale would be the last of
Anil Ambani<\/a>’s association with telecom sector. The business reported nearly Rs 1,200 crore of operating profit when RCom last reported its quarterly results. However, now that Reliance has shut its mobile network, the overseas business is feeling the cost pressure.
\n
\n“They used commonly leased office space, shared network resources, including servicing of the network,” the person said. Now, the remaining business has to incur those costs, which is fast eroding profitability, he said. Even some of the cost of the operating centre falls on the overseas arm.
\n
\nRCom has been trying to optimize its operations by reducing the number of offices. It used seven offices, but has now centralized to just four, the person said.

\nRussian Roulette<\/strong>
\nGlobal Cloud Exchange (GCX), which holds the undersea cable and Indian small and medium businesses using RCom’s services, had earlier attracted telecom sector bellwether Airtel’s interest, which had waned since January. Among the three bids it got for the business, one was for a smaller piece of the business, said one of the persons mentioned earlier.
\n
Sistema’s bid is clearly the one that shines: the company is an old ally of RCom that has absorbed the Russian conglomerate’s Indian telecom arm last year. The Rs 2,000-crore outstanding payment is for converting noncontiguous airwaves in the 800 MHz band originally acquired by
MTS<\/a> in 2013 into contiguous, or-’continuous’, 4G airwaves based on prices discovered in the 2015-spectrum sale.
\n
\nContiguous spectrum in the 800 MHz band is more efficient and essential for offering 4G services. Last year, RCom had concluded the acquisition of Sistema’s Indian telecom business – Sistema Shyam Teleservices (which retailed CDMA-based mobile services under the MTS brand) – in a deal that saw Sistema Shyam’s promoters getting a 10% stake in RCom.
\n
\nTelecom Travails<\/strong>
RCom shut its wireless business at the end of November after failed attempts to merge with the unlisted
Aircel<\/a>. The Anil Ambani company had acquired the undersea cables in 2004 by buying Flag Telecom. At the time, it was the only company apart from Tata Communications, formerly Videsh Sanchar Nigam, to have rights to land calling traffic in India. This gave the company some marquee customers as internet connectivity penetration rose for businesses. The company also ran an economical home calling facility for Indians overseas, which had accounted for some premium subscribers.
\n
\nHistorically this has been the most profitable business for the company. At the time RCom closed its debt restructuring in December, chairman Anil Ambani had said bids received for other parts of the business would leave about Rs 7,000 crore debt in the company along with the unit that is now up for sale.

孟买:俄罗斯的Sistema已成为剩余资产的出价最高者Anil Ambani-owned Reliance Communications的总价值15亿美元,三名知情人士表示,发展。企业的资产包括海外和电信业务和数据中心。

Sistema JFSC的出价高达12亿美元(7800卢比)除了约3亿美元(2000卢比),Reliance Communications欠Sistema。

俄罗斯公司希望完全买下印度电信,但可能在部分表示,上述人员之一。上周,Sistema竞购信实电信海底电缆,数据中心和国内企业业务。

“目前,资产甚至可以价值20亿美元,但这值快速侵蚀成本越来越大,”一位知情人士表示。这将是最后一次销售安尼尔•安巴尼与电信部门的协会。营业利润的业务报告近1200卢比RCom上次公布了季度业绩。然而,现在已经关闭了移动网络的依赖,海外业务也感受到了成本压力。

“他们一般使用租用办公空间,共享网络资源,包括服务的网络,”这位人士说。现在,剩下的业务,这些成本,快速侵蚀利润,他说。甚至一些操作的成本中心落在海外的手臂。

信实电信一直试图优化其业务通过减少办公室的数量。过去七个办事处,但现在集中四,这位人士说。


没有回应RCom等查询到时间去出版社,而Sistema拒绝置评。

俄罗斯轮盘赌
全球云交换(GCX),海底电缆和印度中小企业使用信实电信的服务,曾吸引了电信业领头羊Airtel的利益,自今年1月以来已消退。在三个投标业务,一个是一小块的业务,说前面提到的一个人。

Sistema的收购无疑是一个亮点:该公司是一个古老的盟友,RCom吸收俄罗斯集团去年的印度电信部门。价值2000卢比的未付款项是转换为非连续广播在800 MHz频段里最初的收购MTS2013年为连续的,或者——“连续”,4 g电波基于价格发现在2015 -频谱出售。

连续的光谱在800 MHz频段里更有效和必要的提供4 g服务。去年,结论RCom Sistema的印度电信业务的收购——Sistema Shyam电信业务(这就cdma通信移动服务在MTS品牌)——在一个协议,看到Sistema Shyam的推广者信实电信10%的股份。

电信的痛苦
RCom关闭了无线业务合并失败后在11月底未上市Aircel。安尼尔•安巴尼公司在2004年收购了海底电缆通过购买电信。当时,它是唯一一家除了塔塔通信,以前Videsh Sanchar尼噶,有土地权利要求交通在印度。这给公司一些选框客户作为企业网络连接普及率上升。该公司还经营一种经济家海外机构呼吁印度人,曾占到一些付费用户。

这是个长久以来为公司最赚钱的业务。当时关闭了12月债务重组RCom董事长安尼尔•安巴尼表示报价收到了业务的其他部分将对7000卢比债务公司的单位,现在出售。
