This revised tariff further reinforces Airtels commitment to make mobile telephony more affordable. The 700-million strong rural market in India is the biggest single market in the world and Airtel is rapidly expanding its footprint in the rural areas of the country. It has already connected over 3.2-lakh villages and plans to reach 5 lakh by 2010.

Therefore, these tariff initiatives will help catalyze efforts to make telephony more affordable for all customers across the country and8/17/2008 further reinforce Airtel as the industry leader in both affordability and availability. Industry reports indicate that education, tourism and travel will be key growth driver of the future.Data shows that Airtel remains committed to ensuring that communication continues to help facilitate cultural, social and commercial exchanges to the benefit of its customers.

Bharti Airtel Limited


Bharti Airtel is India's leading telecom company, providing services for mobile and fixed wireless. With 40 million wireless subscribers, Bharti is adding 1 million users every month, way ahead of competitors like Reliance, Tata, and now Vodafone. Knowing that market growth will slow down, Bharti, like its competitors, is chasing customers, particularly in rural India, where 75% of India's 1 billion population lives. It is spending over $2 billion to roll out wireless services in the hinterland. Telecom companies tower business will put their companies in astounding growth territory by 2010. As we have saw that on July 19, 2007 Reliance Communication offloaded 5% stake in RTIL (Tower business) translating to Rs 135 per share from their total equity value at USD 6.75 billion (about INR 27000 crore). Bharti Airtel has seen nearly 90% growth in their subscribers from 19.57 million in FY06 to 37.14 million in FY07. During the same period Reliance Communication has seen growth of 39% from 20.21 million to 28.01 million subscribers. In FY07, Bharti Airtel has total tower site of 39281 and Rel Comm held 13000 towers. India currently has total tower sites of 120,000, housing 136,000 BTS (Base Transmitting Station) of various operators. As per analyst estimates, Bharti Airtel will alone have 114,000 towers by March 2010 and Reliance Communication is likely to have 63,000 towers. Macquarie Research estimate huge demand for wireless towers as coverage in rural areas of India increases and Indian wireless companies cover more people. It is estimate that the industry would need 450,000 BTS by March 2010 to support a forecast wireless subscriber base of 425 million. Research firm expect Bharti Airtel to capture dominant market share in this space. Bharti Airtel to have a portfolio of 114,000 towers by March 2010, translating into all-India towers market share of 33%. Reliance Communication is likely to have the second largest portfolio, with 63,000 towers, implying a market share of 18.3%.

Tower sharing help to moderate the tower requirements for all operators. Tower sharing will likely lead to easier, faster and cost effective entry of hitherto small or regional operators into new circles turning them into panIndia operators. Players like Bharti and RCOM who are at the forefront of the tower initiative potentially run the risk of significant enhancement in competition from these new entrants. Macquarie Research expect the tower businesses to add significant upside to Bharti and RCOMs valuations. DCF analysis of Bharti Infratel suggests a valuation of USD 8.5 billion for the tower company, Bharti Infratel. In addition, Bharti Airtel is likely to gain from lower capex at the parent company level due to outsourcing of their tower requirements. The savings to Bharti Airtel at USD 3.16 billion. In total, the upside to Bharti Airtel from the tower subsidiary at USD 11.6 billion or Rs 250 per share. This translates to additional upside of 30% over and above the upside of 24% from the base business.

Bharti Airtel Limited Literature review

Core competency A core competency is something that a firm can do well and that meets the following three conditions specified by Hamel and Prahalad (1990): It provides customer benefits It is hard for competitors to imitate It can be leveraged widely to many products and markets.

A core competency can take various forms, including technical/subject matter know how, a reliable process, and/or close relationships with customers and suppliers (Mascarenhas et al. 1998). It may also include product development or culture such as employee dedication. Modern business theories suggest that most activities that are not part of a company's core competency should be outsourced Characteristics of Core Competencies There are three tests for Core Competencies Potential access to a wide variety of markets - the core competency must be capable of developing new products and services A core competency must make a significant contribution to the perceived benefits of the end product. Core Competencies should be difficult for competitors to imitate. In many industries, such competencies are likely to be unique

COMPETITOR ARRAY One common and useful technique is constructing a competitor array. The steps include: Define your industry - scope and nature of the industry Determine who are your competitors. Determine who your customers are and what benefits they expect Determine what the key success factors are in your industry Rank the key success factors by giving each one a weighting - The sum of all the weightings must add up to one. Rate each competitor on each of the key success factors - this can best be displayed on a two dimensional matrix - competitors along the top and key success factors down the side. Multiply each cell in the matrix by the factor weighting. Sum columns for a weighted assessment of the overall strength of each competitor relative to each other.

COMPETITOR PROFILING Another common technique is to create detailed profiles on each of your major competitors. These profiles give an in-depth description of the competitor's background, finances, products, markets, facilities, personnel, and strategies. This involves:

13 Belgaum Institute of Management Studies (MBA)

Bharti Airtel Limited


Background Location of offices, plants, and online presences History - key personalities, dates, events, and trends Ownership, corporate governance, and organizational structure Marketing Segments served, market shares, customer base, growth rate, and customer loyalty Promotional mix, promotional budgets, advertising themes, ad agency used, sales force success rate, online promotional strategy Distribution channels used (direct & indirect), exclusivity agreements, alliances, and geographical coverage Pricing, discounts, and allowances

NEW COMPETITORS In addition to analyzing current competitors, it is necessary to estimate future competitive threats. The most common sources of new competitors are: Companies competing in a related product/market Companies using related technologies Companies already targeting your prime market segment but with unrelated products Companies from other geographical areas and with similar products New start-up companies organized by former employees and/or managers of existing companies

The entrance of new competitors is likely when: There are high profit margins in the industry There is unmet demand (insufficient supply) in the industry There are no major barriers to entry There is future growth potential Competitive rivalry is not intense competitive advantage over existing firms is feasible

GSM mobile alone added 1.41m new subscribers. Rest addition was in the CDMA (0.26mn) segment. Meanwhile fixed line segment continued to move at a snail pace and added just 0.2mn subscribers. Various factors have contributed to such stupendous growth in subscriber addition that included increased drive from the telecom services provider through various promotional schemes, increasing quality of telecom infrastructure and growing need for communication. Above all, the growing competition amongst the service providers has led to decline in tariff rate, which is lowest in the world.

Bharti Airtel continued to rock in the GSM space at the cost of BSNL increasing its market share to 32% [30.63% in 2007] at the end of March 2008. Vodafone India has thrown BSNL to the third by having a market share of 23%. BSNL has to be content with 19%. Idea Cellular has maintained at 12%.

Leading both in market share and ad-spends, Bharti Airtel heads the Big 4 with 31%, followed by a distant Reliance. Hutch and Vodafone (NYSE: VOD) combine would have placed it ahead of Reliance at no 2.

Bharti Airtel Limited

Statistics from the Indian agencies representing the country's two mobile network technologies, GSM and CDMA, indicate that mobile customer numbers moved close to 150m by the end of January 2007, an increase of 85% year on year. Customer numbers climbed over 6.6m in January alone with over 213,000 net new connections being made per day during the month. Just under a quarter of these net additions were to one of the country's six CDMA mobile networks, adding to a total CDMA base which accounted for just over a quarter of the total customer count at the end of January - almost 39m customers.

India is now the third largest CDMA market in the world, having overtaken China towards the end of December 2006. However, according to our estimates, at the end of February 2007 (or at the latest the beginning of March) the size of the Indian CDMA customer base will exceed that of South Korea, which ended 2006 with 40.2m CDMA customers, moving India into second place behind the United States

Not only is India expected to become the second largest mobile CDMA market in the world by the end of February, it is also expected to go third in the world overall, ahead of Russia. Russia itself broke the 150m barrier in December, but is growing much slower than India - around 2.05m customers per month on average in 2006, versus 5.55m on the sub-continent. We estimate that it will be early 2008 before India claims its rightful place, by population, of second - overtaking the United States which currently occupies the position.
