印度的電信、移動和寬帶市場:統計數據和分析India - Telecoms, Mobile and Broadband - Statistics and Analyses |
在過去五年中,印度電信行業一直在努力發展。儘管政府共同努力加強基礎設施以實現全民覆蓋,但該部門的表現仍然低迷。相反,相對自由的監管環境,反而助長了運營商之間的激烈競爭和價格競爭,降低了ARPU,所以很多運營商只是生存下來,而不是給股東帶來正回報,我很擔心。
公共和私營企業都被迫向政府尋求救濟以避免破產。特別令人擔憂的是,企業必須向政府支付大量調整後總收入 (AGR) 供款,並且長期以來一直存在關於將什麼計為收入的法律鬥爭。
本報告分析了印度的電信、移動和寬帶市場,包括監管概覽和市場數據(截至 2021 年 9 月),以及運營商財務和運營數據(截至 2021 年 12 月)。、TMI(通信成熟度)概述和分析、影響冠狀病毒感染 (COVID-19) 和其他最新趨勢。

India's telecommunications sector has struggled for growth over the last five years. The sector's lacklustre performance has been in spite of concerted efforts by the government to bolster the underlying infrastructure in a bid to achieve universal coverage. Instead, the country's relatively liberal regulatory environment has encouraged fierce competition and price wars amongst the operators, driving down ARPU to the point where many are now more concerned about their mere survival rather than generating positive returns for their shareholders.
State-owned as well as private operators have been forced to seek redress from the government in order to avoid bankruptcy. One particular area of contention has been the billions owed by the operators to the government in the form of Adjusted Gross Revenue (AGR) dues - usage and licensing fees charged by the Department of Telecommunications (DoT) - that have been the subject of long-standing court battles over what should be counted as revenue.
The government won that battle in the Supreme Court in 2019, but the financial impairment of that decision has pushed a number of telcos - in particular Vodafone Idea - to the brink. Add the impact of the Covid-19 crisis in 2020 and 2021 to the mix, and the government had to come to the industry's rescue by introducing a major reform package in September 2021. Along with changes to the definition of AGR with regard to non-telecom revenue, the package includes a four-year moratorium on AGR dues and spectrum instalments.
Coincidentally, the government has also deferred the spectrum auctions for 5G until later in 2022. Mobile spectrum in India is already in short supply in terms of providing the necessary capacity to reach universal coverage, but the cash-strapped MNOs may not yet be in a sufficiently strong financial position for which to make the 5G spectrum auction viable.
This report includes the regulator's market data to September 2021, telcos' financial and operating data updates to December 2021, Telecom Maturity Index charts and analyses, assessment of the global impact of Covid-19 on the telecoms sector, and other recent market developments.
