Largest provider of mobile telephony and 2nd largest provider of fixed
telephony.
Airtel is the first Indian telecom service provider to achieve Cisco Gold
Certification.
2. The 4G edge
The spectrum gain from Telenor acquisition will add critical value to the company when fast
data has come to rule the Indian telecom market. Bharti Airtel is rolling out its 4G services in
1,800 MHz band and 2,100Mhz band. Telenor's 43.4 MHz spectrum in the 1800 MHz band will
certainly power Bharti Airtel's 4G services.
The acquisition will cross the 50-per cent revenue market share threshold in
the Bihar circle, which would require trimming 9.2 per cent of Telenor’s
revenue.
Some analysts said higher customer base through acquisition is not expected
to automatically translate into increase in revenues for Bharti as most of the
Telenor users are low income customers.
Tale Of
Telenor had signed a JV with Unitech in 2009 and it invested Rs 6,135
crore through equity and a little over Rs8,000 crore in debt.
In calendar year 2016, Telenor India's total revenues grew 7.9 per cent to
Norwegian Krone 6 billion (Rs4,700 crore). Its earnings before interest,
tax, depreciation and amortisation stood at Norwegian Krone 434 million
(Rs340 crore) against a loss of Norwegian Krone 47 million in 2015.
However, Telenor took an impairment loss and write-downs in its India
operation of Norwegian Krone 7.4 billion (Rs5,800 crore) in 2016.
