Spectrum acquisition: Four companies pay Rs 17,876 crore upfront to DoT

Spectrum acquisition: Four companies pay Rs 17,876 crore upfront to DoT

Bharti Airtel said Wednesday it has paid Rs 8,312.4 crore upfront to the Department of Telecommunications (DoT) towards dues for the spectrum it had acquired in the recently concluded 5G auctions. The telco said it paid dues for four years upfront, as it would help future cash flows and its 5G rollout.
The DoT also got Rs 7,864.7 crore in upfront payment from Reliance Jio, Rs 1,679.98 crore from Vodafone Idea (Vi), and Rs 18.94 crore from Adani Data Networks, an Adani Group arm. As a result, it has received a total of Rs 17,876 crore.
Airtel plans to launch 5G services this month. Over the last year, it has also cleared Rs 24,333.7 crore of deferred spectrum liabilities, the telco said.
“The company believes that this upfront payment coupled with the moratorium on spectrum dues and AGR (adjusted gross revenue) related payments for four years will free up future cash flows and allow Airtel to dedicate resources to single-mindedly concentrate on the 5G roll out,” a statement by Airtel said. It has tied up with Ericsson, Nokia, and Samsung for network agreements.
According to DoT’s rules for receiving payments from the spectrum auctions, companies have the option to pay dues in 20 equated annual instalments. However, telecom operators are also free to pay the entire amount or part of it upfront, with the minimum duration for upfront payment being two years. On August 5, the Department had issued demand notices to all the four companies to pay up their spectrum payments in 10 days, with Wednesday being the final day.
India’s biggest ever spectrum auction for 5G airwaves had ended on August 1 with bids upwards of Rs 1.5 lakh crore coming in after seven days of bidding spread over 40 rounds, belying initial expectations that the auction process would be wrapped up in under three days.
Jio emerged as the largest spender in the 5G spectrum auction, acquiring almost half of all the airwaves sold for more than Rs 88,000 crore, and was also the only one to have acquired spectrum in the premium 700 MHz band. Airtel, shelled out Rs 43,084 crore to acquire a total of 19.8 GHz of spectrum in the 900 MHz, 1,800 MHz, 2,100 MHz, 3,300 MHz and 26 GHz bands. Vi spent Rs 18,799 crore and bid for certain medium and high frequency bands. Adani Data Networks acquired spectrum only in the 26 GHz band and spent Rs 212 crore.
In an earnings call last week, Gopal Vittal, MD and CEO, Bharti Airtel had said that the company plans to launch 5G services starting August and, by 2024, is expecting to cover large parts of the country, including in rural areas. The company has prepared detailed network roll-out plans for 5,000 towns in India, he said.

Reliance Jio, Bharti Airtel In Position To Buy Pan-india Spectrum, Uncertainty On Vil Bid

Reliance Jio, Bharti Airtel In Position To Buy Pan-india Spectrum, Uncertainty On Vil Bid

BofA Securities report released on Monday said that Reliance Jio and Bharti Airtel are in a position to buy pan-India 5G spectrum, however, uncertainty remains around Vodafone Idea’s bids for the radiowaves.

It would be difficult for any telecom firm, which has not bid for 5G spectrum in a particular circle to roll out 5G on the existing 4G bands, because the existing networks are running at a capacity, and hence there is limited free spectrum which could be carved out, the report stated.

It noted: “Higher reserve price is likely to disincentive any new telcos to bid in the auction and only telcos with strong balance sheets like RIL, Bharti are in a position to buy pan India 5G spectrum. It remains unclear how VIL would fund its 5G bids.”

The management at VIL has focused on top core circles and the firm is likely to selectively bid in their core 3G and 4G circles, BofA research analysts believed.

The report said, “Post 5G, we believe VIL would be further vulnerable if it doesn’t have pan India 5G spectrum.” 

The BofA report estimates that operators may be interested in 3.5 GHz in this auction as it is the primary band for 5G, while the premium 700 MHz may garner limited interest given its high pricing and as its propagation characteristics are similar to that of 800 and 900 MHz band.

“Interest on 28 GHz likely in the next auction even if the government decides to auction this time,” the report stated.

The Centre expects to hold the next round of spectrum auction by June-end or early July. The 5G services are expected to make their way in India by August-September.

The Department of Telecom is likely to move the 5G spectrum auction proposal to the Union Cabinet for final approval this week.

The Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (Trai) has recommended a mega auction plan of over 7.5 lakh crore for over 1 lakh megahertz spectrum in case the government allocates it for a period of 30 years.

In case of 20 years, the total value of the proposed spectrum auction will stand at around 5.07 lakh crore at the reserve price, according to back-of-the-envelop calculations.

With large swathes of spectrum remaining unsold in the last two auctions, Trai has recommended selling airwaves in all existing bands of 700 MHz, 800 MHz, 900 MHz, 1800 MHz, 2100 MHz, 2300 MHz, 2500 MHz and new slots of 600 MHz, 3300-3670 MHz and 24.25-28.5 GHz.

BofA Securities also says that Jio will be aggressive in looking to deploy 5G, especially standalone 5G, which would force other telcom players also to front load capex investments.

“A key challenge could be on the device ecosystem front given the semiconductor supply-chain issues and relatively higher price points,” the report said.

BofA Securities said the Centre is expected to consider allocating or auctioning E and V bands for backhaul, which would help reduce the dependence on fibre backhaul connectivity, especially in tier 2 and 3 cities.

“The timing of this is not unknown but the government is keen to allocate the band as soon as it could,” the report added.
