Reliance Jio Expands India’s Connectivity to the World Mumbai, 18 April 2016: Reliance Jio announces the launch of a new, state of the art 8,100 km cable system, the Bay of Bengal Gateway (BBG). BBG provides direct connectivity to South East Asia and the Middle East, then onward to Europe, Africa and Far East Asia through seamless interconnection with existing cable systems. Reliance Jio owns and operates the strategically important undersea cable landing facility in Chennai, providing a high-speed, high-capacity, low latency route connecting India to the rest of the world.“ “We are excited about the launch of BBG as it offers not just direct connectivity in and out of India through Chennai and Mumbai but also acts as a state-of-the-art 100 Gbps extension of Jio’s 100 Gbps core network,” said Mathew Oommen, President Reliance Jio. “This global connectivity brings key international content hubs closer to our customers, delivering a much richer experience as an important part of driving India’s broadband adoption, enabling consumers to shift away from the current high-cost low value propositions.” Providing robust, reliable, low latency connectivity, BBG strengthens one of the fastest growing global internet routes. BBG has deployed the latest submarine cable 100Gbps transmission technology, utilizing wavelength add/drop branching units along the route, with an initial equipped capacity of 9 terabits per second. In addition to Reliance Jio, the BBG partners include: Dialog Axiata, Etisalat, Omantel, Telecom Malaysia, and Vodafone. BBG is one of the new cable systems in the region in which Reliance Jio has invested as part of its broadband plans.

Reliance Industries and Reliance Communications Sign Telecom Tower Pact
Reliance Industries and Reliance Communications Sign Telecom Tower Pact The Ambani brothers have signed a mega deal to share mobile telecom towers. The agreement would permit Reliance Jio Infocomm, a subsidiary of Mukesh Ambani's, Reliance Industries Limited to rent 45000 telecom towers of Anil's Reliance Communications for a period of 15 years. Reliance Jio Infocomm will pay Rs. 12000 crores to Reliance Communication for this lease, which translates to around Rs. 14000-15000 per tower per month. The deal is a win-win for both the companies as it provides a regular income stream for Reliance Comunications and a quicker and economical network capability to Reliance Jio Infocomm when it rolls out its 4G services. Reliance Jio Infocomm could commence occupying some of the towers in the next six months. As per the market sources, Reliance Jio Infocomm did a hard bargain as the prevailing market rental value for a telecom tower ranges around Rs. 25000 - 30000 per month. Reliance Communication will use a large part of the proceeds to retire debt. It has an outstanding debt of around Rs 39,000 crores. This is the second telecom business deal between the two Ambani brothers. Earlier, in April this year these two companies had signed a Rs. 1200 crore pact to share the optic fibre network for carrying call traffic across the country. According to Gurdeep Singh - chief executive (mobility), Reliance Communications, it is possible that these two firms will sign more deals that are mutually beneficial. Synergies in telecom operations appear to have brought the two family factions together.

India's Telecom Giant Vodafone Idea May Run out of Ideas with Liquidity
NUS Credit Research Initiative nuscri.org India’s telecom giant Vodafone Idea may run out of ideas with liquidity issues looming by Vivane Raj ● NUS-CRI 1-year PD illustrates a significant difference in credit health of Airtel and Vodafone Idea, two of the largest telecom providers in India ● A looming cash crunch and a substantial debt burden weigh heavily on Vodafone Idea, while Airtel fares relatively better with lower debt and growing market share ● NUS-CRI Forward PD indicates that both carriers’ short-term credit risks will increase Once the largest player in the Indian telecommunications sector, Vodafone Idea has suffered significantly as rivals Bharti Airtel (Airtel) and Reliance Jio1 have overtaken the top spots in the market. As a result of a price war with the introduction of Reliance Jio’s near-zero contract rates in 2016, Airtel and Vodafone Idea were forced to sustain prolonged losses in order to match these low rates. Currently, Vodafone Idea is facing cash burn from a burden of unpaid government licensing fees. This is supported by the meteoric jump in the NUS-CRI 1-year Probability of Default (PD) (1-year PD) in 2019 and 2020 for the company. While there was a drop in the PD from its highest levels in Feb 2020 as seen from Figure 1, the NUS-CRI Forward 1-year Probability of Default (Forward PD2) indicates a deterioration in credit outlook for Vodafone Idea (see Figure 3). This is contrasted by Airtel, which managed to weather the storm relatively better. In sum, this brief analyses the credit quality of Vodafone Idea compared to Airtel and explore the factors which have caused this divergence in credit health.
