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. Source: The Economic Times, June 7, 2013 .

Mukesh Ambani Buys 'Goldfinger' Stoke Park Golf Club for £57M
Mukesh Ambani buys ‘Goldfinger’ Stoke Park golf club for £57m Deal marks second UK trophy asset after 2019 purchase of Hamleys toy store Sean Connery’s James Bond plays against Auric Goldfinger at Stoke Park, in the 1964 film © Handout Asia’s richest man has bought an English country club that featured in two James Bond films for £57m, adding a trophy asset to a global portfolio that includes UK toy store Hamleys. A subsidiary of Mukesh Ambani’s Reliance Industries has agreed a deal for Stoke Park, a Georgian mansion on 300 acres in Buckinghamshire, which includes a luxury hotel and golf club. The acquisition adds glamour to Ambani’s conglomerate, which is better known for its Indian energy and telecoms businesses. “You can see Windsor Castle from the golf course: it is a trophy asset,” said Charles McDowell, a buying agent. Stoke Park has been in the hands of the King family, owners of healthcare company International Hospitals Group, since 1988. The family put the estate up for sale in 2018 and was originally aiming for a far higher price, according to two people with knowledge of the sale. The estate, which attracted interest from buyers from China and the Middle East as well as Ambani, had been hoped to fetch “more than £100m”, said one of the people. Before opening as a luxury country club in 1908, Stoke Park was a private residence. Roarie Scarisbrick, partner at buying agency Property Vision, said one potential buyer had considered converting the 49-bedroom hotel back into a home but pulled out because “they didn’t want the reputational fallout” from closing the golf club and sacking staff.

Reaching for the Stars: the Incredible Rise of Arvind Kejriwal Vidya Subrahmaniam Feb 25, 2015
Reaching for the Stars: The Incredible Rise of Arvind Kejriwal Vidya Subrahmaniam Feb 25, 2015 Arvind Kejriwal, Chief Minister of Delhi. - FILE PHOTO: SHANKER CHAKRAVARTY Five years ago, Arvind Kejriwal was far from being the man of the masses he is today. The Hindu Centre's Senior Fellow Vidya Subrahmaniam, who as a correspondent with The Hindu followed Kejriwal's public life between 2006 and 2014, traces his rise from activism to political stardom. In the immediate afterglow of the Assembly election, everyone seemed to be smiling in Delhi. A friend out on his morning walk found strangers congratulating him on the Aam Aadmi Party’s (AAP’s) superhero-sized victory. He returned the compliment, aware that like him, they were ordinary citizens basking in the reflected glory of Arvind Kejriwal’s brilliantly executed electoral coup. As results poured in, television anchors, across channels, briefly forgot to be officious. The incorrigibly rude Arnab Goswami attempted poetry and watched bemusedly as the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) spokesperson and his counterpart in the AAP warred and sparred in shayari (Urdu poetry). Visuals suggested a carnival-like mood on the streets. Delhi did not erupt in such sheer joy even when the BJP’s Narendra Modi broke a 30-year jinx to win a majority in the 2014 Lok Sabha election. The emotional, spontaneous response was reminiscent of 1977, when the all-new Janata Party unseated Indira Gandhi after the Emergency. The AAP’s victory was the sweeter for having come in the most exacting circumstances. Kejriwal had ceased to be Kejriwal since quitting as Delhi’s Chief Minister in February 2014 — after only 49 days in office.

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.
