<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>In what could be a sign of a revival, Vodafone Idea<\/a> has for the first time added active mobile users since the merger of the two entities - Vodafone India and Idea Cellular four years back.

The company has not been impacted by SIM consolidation post the tariff hikes by the
industry<\/a> last year. It saw active subscriber net additions of 0.2 million in March, the first positive net-add month, post-merger of two telecom players taking the active user base at 226 million.

However, the third largest loss making telecom player needs to immediately close its pending fundraise plan of Rs 10,000 crore from external investors to accelerate network investments, arrest declining market share and plan for next generation technology 5G.

Vodafone Idea (Vi) also plans to speed up 2G-to-4G customer migrations to drive growth in its average revenue per user (ARPU) - which is a key matrix for profitability.

Sunil Mittal-led
Bharti Airtel<\/a>, though, added the highest number of active mobile users – 4.6 million – among India’s top telcos in March while Reliance Jio<\/a> reported almost flattish growth on this count at 0.3 million, which indicated that the Mukesh Ambani-led telco’s dormant users clean-up drive is virtually over.

Vi also plans to push its users on higher usage plans - unlimited data packs to pay more and not tinker much with entry-level packs once it takes the next round of price hikes.

The aim is to double ARPU to around Rs 250 and boost cash generation, especially as its yearly payouts are estimated at a whopping Rs 40,000 crore once the moratorium on deferred spectrum and AGR (adjusted gross revenue) payments ends in October 2025.

With Vi likely to adopt a premiumisation strategy reflected in higher price hikes on unlimited data plans, 4G customer growth would become doubly important for the telco.

On the back of tariff hikes, Vi has managed to narrow its March quarter net loss to Rs 6,544.9 crore from Rs 7,234.1 crore in the previous three-month period. The ARPU also increased to Rs 124. Vi’s managing director Ravinder Takkar had said Vi is looking to boost ARPU from the present Rs 124 level to Rs 200 in the short-term and to Rs 250 in the long term and said there is enough opportunity to push through another price hike and does not see inflation as an impediment.

Vi’s management is counting on the 2G-to-4G upgrades cycle and future tariff hikes to take its ARPU to Rs 200, especially since telecom remains an essential service and accounts for a tiny share of overall customer wallet.

In another major development, the government will hold around 33% in Vi, post-conversion of the latter’s accrued interest liability (on deferred dues) into equity, while the telco’s promoters—UK’s Vodafone Plc and India’s Aditya Birla Group (ABG)—will collectively hold 50% in the company.

The
Department of Telecommunications<\/a> (DoT) has computed the net present value (NPV) of the accrued interest due to the four-year deferral of spectrum and adjusted gross revenue (AGR) payments at Rs 16,133.1 crore, a calculation since confirmed by Vi. At present, UK’s Vodafone Plc and ABG own 47.61% and 27.38% in Vi respectively.

Cultural differences between disparate merging organisations have led to struggles that Vodafone Idea – the telecom JV between UK’s Vodafone Plc and India’s Aditya Birla Group – faces today, according to Bharti Enterprises Chairman
Sunil Mittal<\/a>.

Vi merger did not work as “UK’s Vodafone is an MNC with a very open culture, whereas the Birlas “are a large business enterprise rooted in India with a financial-results orientation”.

It took a total of almost three years from the announcement to the complete integration of two companies.

Lastly, the largest telecom player Reliance Jio added 1.26 million gross users in March after a three-month decline as the cleanup of dormant, low-value customers seemingly came to an end.

Jio also consolidated its leadership in the home broadband market as it added 0.24 million customers to its JioFibre service in March, taking its fixed broadband user base to 5.3 million. Airtel added 0.10 million such users, boosting its home broadband user base to 4.5 million.

Bharat Sanchar Nigam Ltd<\/a> (BSNL) – the No 3 wired broadband player -- reported flattish user gains at 0.04 million, leaving its home broadband user base stagnant at 3.9 million, underlining its inability to compete effectively with Jio and Airtel.

Bharti Airtel continued its streak, adding 2.25 million customers, bringing its tally to 360.03 million subscribers, while Vodafone Idea's subscriber losses continued, as the telco lost 2.81 million customers as the first quarter of 2022 came to an end.

在什么可能是一个复苏的迹象,沃达丰的想法首次添加积极的移动用户自合并两个实体——沃达丰印度和想法细胞四年回来。

该公司没有影响SIM整合后的税率行业去年。它看到活跃用户在3月份净增加020万,第一个积极net-add月,合并两个电信玩家的活跃用户2.26亿。

然而,第三大亏损电信玩家需要立即关闭其未决的筹资计划从外部投资者加速网络投资10000卢比,逮捕市场份额下降,下一代技术5 g的计划。

沃达丰的想法(Vi)还计划加快2 g-to-4g客户迁移推动增长的每用户平均收入(ARPU)——这是一个盈利能力的关键矩阵。

苏尼尔Mittal-ledBharti Airtel不过,添加最多的主动移动用户- 460万在3月在印度最大的电信公司依赖Jio报道几乎有点平凡的增长数为030万,这表明,穆克什Ambani-led电信的休眠用户清理驱动几乎结束了。

Vi还计划推高其用户使用——无限数据计划包花更多的钱,而不是修改与入门级包一旦下一轮的涨价。

周围的目标是双ARPU Rs 250和提高现金生成能力,尤其是在其年度支出估计高达40000卢比一旦暂停延迟谱和AGR(调整后的总收益)支付2025年10月结束。

Vi可能采取premiumisation战略反映在更高的价格上涨无限数据计划,4 g电信客户增长将变得更加重要。

的税率,Vi缩小3月季度净亏损从7234。1卢比6544 .9卢比在前三个月。ARPU也增加到124卢比。六世的董事总经理Ravinder第六Takkar曾表示希望提高ARPU从目前的Rs 124点到200卢比的短期和长期的Rs 250,说有足够的机会来推动另一个涨价,并不认为通货膨胀是一个障碍。

Vi的管理是指望2 g-to-4g升级周期和未来税率的ARPU Rs 200,特别是电信仍然是一个至关重要的服务和整体客户的钱包占非常小的份额。

在另一个重大发展,政府将持有33%左右在Vi, post-conversion后者应计利息的责任(递延费)为股权,而电信promoters-UK沃达丰的Plc和印度Aditya Birla集团(ABG)将共同持有公司50%的股权。

电信部(点)的净现值(NPV)计算应计利息由于四年延期的频谱和调整后的总收益(AGR)支付16133。1卢比,计算证实了Vi。目前,英国的沃达丰Plc和ABG在Vi分别拥有47.61%和27.38%。

合并不同组织之间的文化差异导致了斗争,沃达丰的想法——英国沃达丰Plc之间的电信企业和印度Aditya Birla集团——面对今天,据Bharti企业董事长苏尼尔•米塔尔

Vi合并不工作为“英国的沃达丰(Vodafone)是一个跨国公司,一个非常开放的文化,而圈子”是一个大型企业与财务结果取向植根于印度”。

总共花了近三年来从宣布两家公司的完整的集成。

最后,最大的电信玩家依赖Jio总值增加126万用户3月三个月下降后的清理休眠,低价值客户似乎走到了尽头。

Jio也巩固了家庭宽带市场的领导,因为它增加了024万个客户3月份JioFibre服务,固定宽带用户群530万。Airtel添加010万个这样的用户,提高家庭宽带用户达到450万。

Bharat Sanchar Nigam说有限公司(BSNL)——3号有线宽带的球员——报道稍平的用户收益在004万年离开国内宽带用户只停留在390万,突显出其无法有效地对抗Jio和旅馆。
