电信日记:沃达丰的SOS Idea

在这一切之中，沃达丰Idea正在苦苦挣扎。筹集资金对沃达丰的生存至关重要，但似乎没有人愿意迈出第一步，包括发起人、贷款机构，甚至是计划用延期AGR(调整后总营收)应计利息收购沃达丰Idea股权的政府。

电信日记:沃达丰的SOS Idea
沃达丰的想法中国电信是中国第三大电信运营商，目前处于水深火热之中。

由于看不到融资的迹象，也没有5G推出的消息，而且用户不断流失，沃达丰陷入了巨大的困境。因此，对印度电信市场双头垄断的担忧重新浮出水面。

与此同时，其他两家私营电信公司也陷入困境依赖Jio而且Bharti Airtel在印度和电信业大力推出5G服务行业在5G和相关创新的支持下，预计每年将增长125亿美元。

在这一切之中，沃达丰Idea正在苦苦挣扎。筹集资金对其生存至关重要但似乎没有人愿意迈出第一步，包括发起人、贷款人，甚至连政府都不愿迈出第一步。政府计划用递延AGR(调整后总营收)应计利息收购沃达丰Idea的股权。

沃达丰Idea的数据描绘了一幅严峻的画面——第二季度净债务约为2.2万亿卢比，现金余额为19亿卢比。尽管失去了600万用户，但受财务和运营成本上升的拖累，该公司9月份季度的净亏损扩大至759.55亿卢比。由于没有5G来吸引用户，它面临着进一步输给竞争对手的用户基础的风险。

贷方正在等待政府收购股权计划的最终决定政府希望发起人投入资金，并希望有一个坚定的资本注入计划。

这个问题已经达到了一个高度，这促使了英国政府动用外交渠道让印度宣布股权转换，以从政府那里获得最终的清晰度。Aditya Birla集团董事长、沃达丰Idea的推动者Kumar Mangalam Birla最近会见了电信部长Ashwini Vaishnaw加快股权转换进程。

Vaishnaw本周提到Vodafone Idea需要注资股权转换是一个正在讨论的复杂问题。沃达丰Idea有很多要求。它对资本有特殊的要求。有多少资本，谁将注入?目前所有这些问题都在讨论之中。”

沃达丰Idea向银行申请了700亿卢比紧急贷款

考虑到局势的严重性，沃达丰Idea已经接触了许多贷款机构——印度国家银行、旁遮普邦国家银行、HDFC银行和IDFC First等——以安排总计超过700亿卢比的贷款。沃达丰Idea是Aditya Birla集团和英国沃达丰的合资企业，早些时候也在与印度国家银行(SBI)讨论1500 - 160亿卢比的贷款。该公司急需资金来清偿欠印度河塔和其他供应商的大量债务。

近一年来，沃达丰Idea董事会批准将延期频谱约16000亿卢比的全部利息转换为股权，并调整总营收，使政府成为最大的单一股东，持股35.8%。沃达丰Idea于2020年9月首次宣布了一项2500亿卢比的融资计划。其中，它从发起人那里收到了超过490亿卢比，其中大部分用于清除会费。

目前的混乱局面如果不能迅速解决，可能意味着印度电信市场将出现双头垄断。印度电信市场曾吸引了几家全球电信运营商进驻。对于印度移动用户以及政府来说，这将是一个损失，政府通过2021年9月宣布的电信改革方案缓解了陷入困境的电信公司的压力。

但似乎球又到了政府的球场上。

\"Telecom<\/figure>Vodafone Idea<\/a>, the third largest telecom player, is in dire straits.

With no fund raising in sight, no word on 5G launch and constantly losing subscribers, Vodafone has landed in huge distress. Due to this, concerns over a duopoly in the Indian telecom market have resurfaced.

This is coming at a time when other two private telecom players Reliance Jio<\/a> and Bharti Airtel<\/a> are aggressively launching 5G services across India and the telecom industry<\/a> is expected to grow by $12.5 billion every year on the back of 5G and related innovations.

<\/div><\/div>Amidst all this, Vodafone Idea is struggling. A fund raise is critical to its survival<\/a> but it seems no one including promoters, lenders or even the government which planned to acquire an equity stake in Vodafone Idea against its accrued interest on deferred AGR (adjusted gross revenues) dues is willing to take the first step.

The numbers of Vodafone Idea paints a grim picture \u2013 a net debt of around Rs 2.2 lakh crore in the second quarter with a cash balance of Rs 190 crore. Its net loss for the September quarter widened to Rs 7,595.5 crore dragged by higher finance and operating costs even as it lost 6 million subscribers. With no 5G to lure users, it is at the risk of losing its subscriber base further to competitors.

Lenders are awaiting a final word on the government\u2019s plan to acquire equity<\/a> while the government expects promoters to pump in money and want a firm plan on capital infusion.

The issue has reached a high which has prompted the British government to use diplomatic channels<\/a> to make India announce equity conversion to get final clarity from the government. Kumar Mangalam Birla, chairman of the Aditya Birla Group and a promoter of Vodafone Idea, recently met Telecom Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw<\/a> to expedite the process of equity conversion.

<\/div><\/div>Vaishnaw this week mentioned that Vodafone Idea needs capital infusion<\/a> and equity conversion is a complex issue which is under discussion. 'Vodafone Idea has many requirements. It has a particular requirement of capital. How much capital, who will infuse?All those things are under discussion at this point of time.\u201d

Vodafone Idea calls banks for Rs 7,000 crore emergency loans<\/h4><\/a><\/div><\/div>
Looking at the criticality of the situation, Vodafone Idea has approached many lenders \u2014 State Bank of India, Punjab National Bank, HDFC Bank and IDFC First, among others \u2014 to line up loans aggregating upward of Rs 7,000 crore. Vodafone Idea, a joint venture between Aditya Birla Group and the UK\u2019s Vodafone, has also been in discussions with the State Bank of India (SBI) earlier for a Rs 15,000-16,000 crore loan.The company needs immediate funds to clear a pile of debts to Indus Towers and other vendors.

It\u2019s been almost a year since Vodafone Idea\u2019s board approved conversion of the full amount of interest at around Rs 16,000 crore on deferred spectrum and adjusted gross revenue dues into equity, making the government single-largest shareholder with 35.8 per cent stake. Vodafone Idea had first announced a Rs 25,000 crore fundraising plan in September 2020. Out of this, it received over Rs 4,900 crore from promoters, bulk of which was used to clear dues.

The current imbroglio if not resolved swiftly could mean a duopoly in the Indian telecom market, which once attracted several global telecom operators to the Indian shores. This will be a loss for Indian mobile users as well the government which had given the relief to the ailing telco via telecom reform package announced in September 2021.

But it seems the ball is again in the courts of the government.<\/div><\/div>
