Telecom Sector Developments and its impact

The Company has from time to time informed about various developments in Indian Telecom Sector, which were beyond the control of the Company and the management. The first set of issues included the landmark judgement of the Hon''ble Supreme Court cancelling 122 2G telecom licenses in February 2012 (including licenses of Uninor, Videocon, Etisalat, Idea and Tata), the Vodafone Tax issues, the 3G auctions and the unsustainable debt accumulated by the telecom companies. All these factors led to mass exits of operators and significant scale down by the remaining. As a result, majority of the Company''s telecom sites turned into single tenant sites.

Thereafter, the year 2017-18 has seen unprecedented shutting down of some of the major telecom operators such as Aircel Group (then largest customer of the Company), Tata Teleservices, Reliance Communication, Sistema Shyam (merged with Reliance Communication) and Telenor (merged with Airtel). The table below, clearly highlights the impact of tenancy loss the Company has faced over the last decade, despite having long term binding contracts with telecom operators:

Sr. No.	Events of Tenancy Loss	No. of Tenancy	Period	Comments
1.	Cancellation of 2G licenses	4,319	Upto December 2017	Supreme Court Judgement on cancellation of 122 2G telecom licenses
2.	Slower 3G/BWA growth	4,750	Since FY 2012-13	Industry slowdown following the Supreme Court verdict
3.	Operator scale back due to auction	3,500	Since FY 2012-13	Industry slowdown following the Supreme Court verdict
4.	Aircel default of commitment of additional 20,000 tenancies	15,200	May 2014	Legal and financial issues
5.	RCom shutdown of wireless business	1,386	August & September 2017	Unsustainable business due to competition
6.	TATA exit from wireless business	2,910	Since May 2017	Unsustainable business due to competition
7.	Merger of Vodafone - Idea (VIL)	3,227	Since April 2018	Forced industry consolidation due to competition
8.	Consolidation of Telenor with Airtel	1,395	During FY 2018-19	Forced industry consolidation due to competition
9.	Aircel filing of bankruptcy	23,727	January 2018	Unsustainable business due to competition
10.	BSNL exits due to uncertainty of collection	1,767	Since FY 2018-19	Unsustainable business due to competition
11	Exit during business course with various reasons	4,923	Since April 2013
	Aggregate tenancy loss from 2012 to 2023	67,104

Resultantly, these operators abandoned tower sites of the Company making more than 14,000 towers sites unoccupied, which is more than 50% of the total tower portfolio. These discontinuing operators did not make any payment of their contractual dues to the Company, including rent payable to landlords, statutory dues such as property tax, Na tax, local body tax, employees'' dues and vendors'' claims etc., many of which are pass through payments for the Company. As a result, the Company was saddled with substantial costs and liabilities including rents, vendors'' claims and statutory dues on such unoccupied towers without any revenue. The Company has requested Edelweiss Asset Reconstruction Company Limited (âEARCâ) being Monitoring Institution, on regular basis for making payments due to the landlords of the unoccupied sites, however, the same is yet to be approved.

The Company had also attempted to salvage unoccupied tower sites and accordingly resolution plans submitted by the Company included payment of rent to landowners, settlement to vendors and employees. However, none of the resolution proposals were considered by the lenders. The lenders rather chose to appropriate '' 1,06,600 Lakhs till date without even addressing issues of unpaid liabilities towards unoccupied towers. Additionaly, ITSL (at the behest of lenders) realized '' 3,401 Lakhs by way of sale of pledged equity shares.

Due to non-receipt of the rental amounts from the discontinuing operators as per contractual arrangement, pending approval of payment requests of the Company with the Monitoring Institution and non-resolution of issue of unpaid liabilities towards unoccupied towers, the rentals to landlords for those unoccupied sites remained unpaid. Many of the landowners blocked access to our Company''s employees to the sites and initiated legal actions against the Company and its directors / officials. Such disgruntled landlords / unknown miscreants resorted to unauthorized dismantling of sites.

The Company, on its part, are taking various mitigation measures to protect its assets such as carrying out additional survey of its sites, discussion with landowners for convincing them for not resorting to such actions; negotiating with customers / telecom operators for getting new tenants on such unoccupied towers, deployment of Tower Vigilance Team, submission of proposal to lenders for unfeasible sites etc.

Despite continuous efforts of the Company, its Board of Directors and the management to protect its assets, 2,932 sites got dismantled during the financial year ended March 31,2023 out of unoccupied sites. The Company continues to pursue its insurance claims and appropriate actions against the landlords / unknown miscreants including filing FIR, wherever applicable.

Assignment of Debt to ARC

Post various adverse developments in telecom sector as detailed above, the Company had proactively presented a resolution plan on April 27, 2018 (with an intent to maximize recovery of dues and to protect the equity exposure of the lenders) to the lenders who constituted a significant majority of the outstanding debt of the Company.

However, the lenders on their own discretion elected to pursue sale of their debt to an Asset Reconstruction Company (ARC) and accordingly, in an independently run process by the lenders, 79.34% of the Indian Rupee Lenders assigned their respective rights, title and interest in the financial assistance granted to the Company in favour of EARC.

In the meantime, one of the secured lenders filed petition before the National Company Law Tribunal, Mumbai Bench (âNCLTâ) under Insolvency & Bankruptcy Code, 2016 for initiation of Corporate Insolvency Resolution Process (âCIRPâ).

Further, the Central Bureau of Investigation has filed a FIR dated August 16, 2023 against the Company, unknown public servants and unknown persons as stated therein. The Company believes that (i) the decision to assign the lenders'' debt to ARC, was entirely that of the lenders and the Company was no way involved in the decision-making process. This was based on lenders'' own commercial wisdom and on an independent process followed by the lenders; (ii) the Company has complied with all relevant sanctions, approvals and regulations.

The Company continues to operate in normal course of business and does not see any material impact on the operations of the Company.

Dismissal of Petition for initiation of CIRP

The Hon''ble NCLT vide its order dated November 18, 2022 has dismissed petition filed by one of the secured lenders for initiation of CIRP under Section 7 of the Insolvency & Bankruptcy Code, 2016 (âIBCâ). The said lender has filed an appeal against this order before the Hon''ble National Company Law Appellate Tribunal (âNCLATâ). EARC who is the lead lender of the Company has filed its Intervention Application in abovementioned Appeal. The Company has filed its reply to the appeal as well as EARC intervention application and now matter is posted for hearing.

Going Concern

Events, as stated in Financial Statements for the year ended March 31, 2023, cast significant doubt on the Company''s ability to continue as a going concern. However, with the telecom sector moving towards stabilization, management believes that below events in telecom sector are positive developments which will lead to increased demand for its towers and thereby increase in the revenue and EBITDA levels.

1. Revival package approved by the Government of India for telecom sector;

2. Hike in mobile call and data tariffs by telecom operators;

3. Mapping of sites for 5G rollout by the operators.

In addition to the above, various resource optimization initiatives undertaken by the Company, can lead to stabilization and revival. The Company is also regular in payment of statutory dues, taxes, employee dues etc. Further, the Company also continues to pursue contractual claims of approx. '' 15,34,023 Lakhs (as on June 30, 2023) from various operators in respect of premature exits by them in the lock in period. One of such claims of the Company against Tata Teleservices was settled during the year resulting in receipt of arbitration award in favour of the Company and consequent recovery of '' 2,900 Lakhs.

It was also observed in the order dated November 18, 2022 passed by the Hon''ble NCLT that the business of the Company is sustainable, it is a viable going concern under its current management and the overall financial health of the Company is not bad enough to be admitted under CIRP

Considering the above facts, decision of NCLT in favor of the Company and as the Company does not have any intention to stop its operations or liquidate its assets, the Company continues to prepare the books of account on Going Concern basis.

Results of Operations

Key Highlights of the Company for the financial year ended March 31, 2018 are as under:

- Total Revenue from Operations for current financial year stands at Rs. 233,333 Lakhs as against Rs. 228,290 Lakhs for the previous financial year.

- Normalized EBITDA for current financial year stands at Rs. 105,963 Lakhs as against Rs. 112,160 Lakhs for the previous financial year.

The increase in revenue is mainly on account of growth in tenants till period ending December 31, 2017. During the first nine months period ended December 31, 2017, the Company was on course to achieve its projected annual revenue and EBITDA targets, however, the same could not be achieved on account of telecom sector developments as discussed hereinunder.

Telecom Sector Developments

Telecom Sector developments such as (i) aggressive pricing by Telcos; (ii) reduction in interconnect usage charges and (iii) increasing unsustainable levels of debts of existing Telcos, impacted the profitability / cash flow of all participants in the sector making it unsustainable to remain viable and / or continue operations as evidenced through series of transactions / announcements listed below:

(i) Aircel Group''s admission to National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) under Insolvency & Bankruptcy Code (IBC)

(ii) Reliance Communication Limited''s (RCom) decision to withdraw from the wireless space and consequent acquisition of certain assets by Reliance Jio Infocomm Limited

(iii) Sale of Sistema Shyam Teleservices Limited (SSTL) to RCom and consequent merger of both

(iv) Tata Group''s decision to withdraw from the wireless space and consequent merger of Tata Teleservices Limited (TTSL) with Bharti Airtel Limited (Bharti Airtel)

(v) Vodafone India Limited (Vodafone) and Idea Cellular Limited (Idea) merger

(vi) Bharti Airtel and Telenor (India) Communication Private Limited (Telenor) merger

The extract of the message of Chairman of Cellular Operators Association of India (COAI) published in its Annual Report for FY 2017-18, summarising the uphill challenges faced by the industry is stated in MD&A Report.

Impact of Telecom Sector Developments on the Company

Aircel Limited, Aircel Cellular Limited and Dishnet Wireless Limited (Collectively called Aircel Group) were the largest customers of the Company, contributing around 43% of its revenue as at March 31, 2017. Despite having lock-in contractual arrangements with the Company, Aircel Group issued Exit Notices for six circles in the month of January, 2018. As a step towards recovery of its dues, the Company filed an application under Section 9 of Arbitration & Conciliation Act, 1996 before the Hon''ble Delhi High Court and the Hon''ble Court by its order dated January 29, 2018 ordered status quo in the matter. Post the said order and during the pendency of Arbitration Petition, Aircel Group voluntarily filed for Insolvency petition before the NCLT on March 1, 2018. The Company also filed an intervention application before the Hon''ble NCLT on March 8, 2018. While admitting the Insolvency Petition of Aircel Group, the Hon''ble NCLT directed the Company to file its claim before an Interim Resolution Professional (IRP). Accordingly the Company has filed its claims before the IRP. This event resulted in a loss of 23,778 tenants of Aircel to the Company.

Further, withdrawal from wireless space by RCom and TTSL and consolidation among telecom operators has also resulted in further loss of tenants for the Company during the financial year under review.

The events enumerated above, which are akin to force majeure events and beyond the control of the management, adversely affected the Company. The Company ended last financial year with 27,626 tenancies despite achieving an all time high of 51,587 against projected tenancies of 56,000. However, the Company continues to believe that post consolidation, the remaining Telcos will need to aggressively expand and upgrade their networks to account for increased subscribers and continued demand for data services. The Company expects to add around 4,200 tenancies from the continuing operators during next financial year and expects this trend to continue. However, this estimate is contingent on no adverse external factors yet impacting the telecom sector.

Going Concern

The Telecom sector developments as enumerated above have had massive negative impact on the Company. Despite these telecom sector challenges, the Company continues to service its Rupee Term Loans in accordance with SDR terms and paid Rs. 303.77 Crore from February 2018 till August 9, 2018. Hence, there was no financial default by the Company as on July 31, 2018. The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) vide circular dated February 12, 2018, withdrew SDR guidelines. During the quarter ended June 30, 2018, one of the term loan lenders has claimed '' 26,446 Lakhs, which as per the Company is not justifiable and is wrong, and hence the Company has disputed the claim. In view of the above developments, options to right size the debt either through an ARC debt sale process initiated by lenders or in accordance with the revised RBI guidelines dated February 12, 2018 are being envisaged. Accordingly, the Company continues to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis.

On behalf of the Board of Directors,

Mar 31, 2015

Dear Members,

The Directors are pleased to present their Twelfth Annual Report together with the Audited Financial Statements for the year ended March 31,2015.

1. STATE OF COMPANY'S AFFAIRS

2. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND BUSINESS OVERVIEW Results Of Operations

During the year, total revenue of the Company was Rs. 623.10 Cr. against Rs. 615.44 Cr. for the previous year. Operating Profit (before Depreciation / Amortization, Finance Costs & Tax) was at Rs. 220.46 Cr. in comparison to previous year's Operating Profit (before Depreciation / Amortization, Finance Costs & Tax) of Rs. 276.44 Cr. Net Loss for the year was at Rs. 514.71 Cr. against Net Loss of Rs. 551.24 Cr. for the previous year.

The telecom scenario in the country changed drastically since the beginning of year 2012 due to cancellation of 122 2G licenses by the Hon'ble Supreme Court, slower 2G and 3G growth, failure of spectrum auctions, inflationary costs of power & fuel and general economic slowdown. Further, during this time, the Company was expected to get increased / additional business arising out of its acquisition of telecom tower portfolio from Aircel Limited and its subsidiaries (Aircel) through Chennai Network Infrastructure Limited (CNIL). However, owing to several external factors, the Company and CNIL could not garner the required 20,000 additional new tenancies on Right of First Refusal basis from Aircel. In the meanwhile, the Company had already placed orders on various vendors to procure tower assets and made expenses / advances against those orders. Consequently, the Company had to short close its commitment to vendors and is currently pursuing legal action against its vendors for recovery of these advances. However, as a matter of prudence, a provision for a sum of Rs. 208.75 Cr. has been made during the year under review. Further, pursuant to the settlement agreement between the Company, CNIL and Aircel, Rs. 150 Cr. has been recognized as income towards final settlement during the year under review. The above amounts have been shown as exceptional items in the Financial Statements.

Going Concern basis

Owing to factors as referred above, the Company's net worth has been eroded substantially and the Company has incurred cash losses. The Company continues to take various measures such as cost optimisation, improving operating efficiency, renegotiation of contracts with customers to improve Company's operating results and cash flows. Further the management believes that new spectrum auction will result in exponential growth in 3G, 4G & LTE which are expected to generate incremental cash flows to the Company. Based on the Master Services Agreement executed for passive infrastructure sharing with new operators, having BWA spectrum and preparing to launch 4G services Pan India, the Company has already commenced roll outs for it. In view of the above mentioned factors, the Company continued to prepare its Financial Statements on going concern basis.

Recent Developments at Macro And Micro Economic Level

The telecom industry has shown tremendous increase in subscriber base to 960.58 Mn. at the end of February 2015 against 903.36 Mn. at the end of February 2014, registering a growth of 6.33%. The share of urban subscribers declined to 58.01% at the end of February 2015 from 59.16% in February 2014 vis-a-vis the share of rural subscribers which increased to 41.99% at the end of February 2015 from 40.84% at the end of February 2014. With this, the overall tele-density in India has shown marginal improvement at 76.60 at the end of February 2015 visa-vis the overall tele-density of 72.92 at the end of February 2014. (Source: Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI), Press Release dated April 10, 2015)

India saw fastest growth in subscription base with 65 million new connections in FY 2014-15. Given this the Indian telecom industry has been one of the fastest growing and most competitive in the world. The Indian call tariffs are still among the lowest in the world.

Growth Drivers

It is observed, globally that telecom industry is a vital sector for the overall development of a nation. It is catalyst to growth and modernization of a nation. Given the recent developments, we have identified a few growth drivers for the coming few fiscals.

1) 2015 Spectrum Auction was successful with Rs. 1.10 Lacs Cr. investment by the industry signaling restored faith in business prospect

2) Industry Friendly and liberal policies

a. Government plans to allocate the Spectrum auctioned in March 2015 by end of this year

b. Government's ambitious US$ 1.1 Bn. Smart City program to facilitate telecom growth

3) Attractive FDI market

4) Subscriber base continues to see upward trend

5) 3G and 4G rollouts expected to lead to machine to machine (M2M) growth in India in F.Y. 2016-17

6) Reliance Jio the only Pan India license 4G provider to roll out 4G in this fiscal

7) India a Data usage driven economy (Nokia Networks' MBit Index study)

a. Mobile data traffic generated by 2G and 3G services has risen by a whopping 74 percent at the end of 2014

b. Use of 3G devices capable of supporting a speed of up to 21.1 Mbps increased from 23% in 2013 to 54% in 2014

c. Average monthly data consumption by a 2G consumer was seen to be 216 MB, an increase of 48% during 2014

d. The average data consumed by a 3G consumer, on the other hand, 688 MB, an increase of 29% during 2014

8) India to be 4th largest Smartphone market in the world

Since Tower Network plays vital role for growth mapping, the Company will see growth in the near future.

Major Developments in the industry (source: A brief Report on Telecom Sector in India - January 2015, Corporate Catalyst (India) Pvt. Ltd.)

1) Reliance Jio infocomm has signed an agreement to share telecom towers of GTL Infrastructure Limited. Seventh Tower sharing agreement by Reliance Jio;

The Company believes that though the current scenario in telecom sector and in general economy is encouraging, it would take some time in improving overall economic scenario inter-alia the telecom and telecom infrastructure sector. Hence, in order to overcome the CDR scenario, the Company is contemplating bi-lateral / multi-lateral settlements, either one time, negotiated or otherwise, with the Lenders. The Company has already obtained requisite approvals from Members of the Company at the 11th Annual General Meeting (AGM) and through Postal Ballot, result of which was declared on September 25, 2014.

(Source: Telecom Regulatory Authority of India, Press Release dated May 12,2014)

The Telecom industry continues to be under stress and had been dealing with several challenges on the financial, revenue and profitability fronts on one hand and Regulatory, Government and Judicial scrutiny on other hand. The various factors adversely impacting the telecom sector post CDR of the Company were discussed in detail in earlier reports and the same are enumerated hereunder:

a. Cancellation of 2G licenses upheld by the Hon''ble Supreme Court;

b. Slower 3G and BWA growth;

c. Failed spectrum auction;

d. Declining performance of Telecom Operators;

e. Freeze on fresh debt and equity;

f. Operators'' defaults and penalties;

Further, the Company was expected to get increased / additional business arising out of its acquisition of telecom tower portfolio from Aircel Limited and its subsidiaries through Chennai Network Infrastructure Limited (CNIL) from FY 2010-11. However, owing to various factors stated above, the Company and CNIL could not garner the required 20,000 additional new tenancies on Right of First Refusal basis from Aircel. Due to this the Company faces several claims from its suppliers and Network operators.

With the stability in the Government at the Centre, it is expected to have positive effect on policy and investment climate. The telecom industry is poised for growth in the coming years.

Major developments in the Industry

The following are some of the major industry developments that are going to have an impact on the earnings and profitability of the sector:

1. Clarity in regulatory policy

During the recent period, there have been several policy initiatives by the Government in the areas of spectrum auction, unified licensing, liberalization of the M&A norms etc as mentioned below.

2. Spectrum:

- All spectrums required for access services are being allotted through a transparent auction process. The recently concluded spectrum auction in February 2014 is testimony to this fact

- Incumbent telecom operators like Vodafone, Bharti Airtel and Idea Cellular displayed vigorous participation in the auction especially for Metros and Circle A cities where the Company has presence

- New operators namely Reliance Jio contested for 1800 MHz spectrum in 14 circles.

- A sum of Rs. 61,162 Cr. has been spent on this auction.

- The Government has taken a decision to allow spectrum sharing. Detailed guidelines are expected soon

- The government has indicated a roadmap on the spectrum availability as well

3. FDI Policy:

- Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) is allowed up to 49% under automatic route and equity infusion beyond 49% up to 100% is with the approval of Foreign Investment Promotion Board

4. M&A norms

- The new rules require the acquiring telco to pay market rates (to the Government) for spectrum above 4.4Mhz in the acquired telco,

- The market share of the combined entity not to exceed 50%

5. Unified licensing

- All future telecom licenses will be granted as Unified Licenses, which will allow the provision of all voice and data services

- All Unified Licenses to have the validity of 20 years

Salient features of spectrum auctions - February 2014

- Reserve Price was lower than the previous Auctions

- Total winning bids amounted to Rs. 61,162 Cr.

- 900 MHz auction saw competitive bidding. Delhi circle received bids of more than 200% of Reserve Price

- The quantum of spectrum available for 1800MHz band was higher

- Operators hedged against the upcoming 900 MHz Auction in 2015, by buying spectrum in 1800MHz

- 8 major operators participated in the auction

- Airtel, Vodafone, Idea and Reliance Jio acquired 95% of the auctioned spectrum

Given the successful auction of 900MHz and 1800 MHz, expected increase in adoption of 3G and 4G with exponential growth in data usage, introduction of national telecom policy, M&A policy approval and 100% foreign equity approval, 2014 onwards we hope to see growth and consequently stability in the telecom industry.

However, in our opinion, it would take a considerably prolonged time in improving the economic scenario inter- alia the telecom sector and in order to overcome the CDR scenario, the Company is contemplating bi-lateral / multi- lateral settlements, either one time, negotiated or otherwise, with the Lenders for which the Company may be required to initiate appropriate actions as elaborated in the proposals put forward before the shareholders for approval.

5. DEBT RESTRUCTURING

Further to information furnished in the Directors'' Report for financial year 2012-13, after successful implementation of Corporate Debt Restructuring (CDR) mechanism for its Rupee Term Loans, as approved by CDR EG, the Company has complied and continues to comply with the terms and conditions of CDR package. The CDR Rupee Debt outstanding as on March 31, 2014 is Rs. 3,529.02 Cr., details of which are as follows:

Principal - Rs. 3,256.57 Cr.

FITL - Rs. 207.09 Cr.

Interest - Rs. 65.36 Cr.

The Company has sizeable amount of overdue receivables from CNIL, an associate company but the same is yet to be released by CNIL''s lenders. Your Company has been honouring its debt service obligation in time and is committed to honour its debt obligation in time but due to non-release of the funds from CNIL coupled with the effect of downturn in the economy in general and telecom sector in particular, there has been delay at times in debt servicing. The Company is also exploring opportunities to monetize its investment (held through Tower Trust) in CNIL, the proceeds of which will be utilized for meeting debt service obligations of the Company.

6. SCHEME OF ARRANGEMENT

Further to information furnished in the Directors'' Report for financial year 2012-13, the Company continues to pursue the Scheme of Arrangement for the merger of CNIL with the Company by way of modification of Scheme of Arrangement to give effect to financial and capital structure changes consequent upon restructuring under CDR. The Company and CNIL proposes to seek approvals for modified Scheme of Arrangement from the Stakeholders, CDR EG, Lenders, the Hon''ble Courts and other regulatory / statutory authorities, as may be required. Once the modified Scheme of Arrangement between the Company and CNIL is approved, the Company''s financial statements will be re-casted / re-stated with effect from the Appointed Date as may be approved.

Chennai Network Infrastructure Limited (CNIL) ceased to be a subsidiary of the Company with effect from December 20'' 2012'' consequent upon allotment of equity shares to CDR Lenders and Promoters in terms of Corporate Debt Restructuring Scheme.

5. Recent DevelopMents At MAcRo AnD MIcRo econoMIc level

The Indian telecom industry has shown marginal decrease in subscriber base in the year under review. The mobile subscriber base in India has decreased to 861.66 Mn. at end of February 2013 as against 919.17 Mn. at the end of March 2012'' registering a de-growth of 6.26 %. The share of Urban subscribers that was giving higher average revenue per user has declined to 60.50 % in February 2013 from 64.83 % in March'' 2012 whereas share of Rural subscribers has increased to 39.50 % in February 2013 from 35.17 % in the month of March 2012. With this'' the overall Teledensity in India has fallen to 70.42 at the end of February 2013.

The Telecom Industry today is undergoing stress and has been dealing with several challenges on the financial'' revenue and profitability fronts on one hand and Regulatory Policies on the other.

Some of the developments we believe that had negative impact on the sector are:

a. cancellation of 2G licenses by HonÂble supreme court upheld: Cancellation of 122 telecom licenses including that of Uninor'' Videocon'' Etisalat by the HonÂble Supreme Court of India in February 2012 and the rejection of their final plea in January 2013 leading to a grinding halt of all 2G capital expenditure plans of these Operators;

b. slower 3G and BwA growth: While Operators have invested Rs. 1''20''000 Cr. towards 3G and BWA services'' their initial rollouts have been very selective. Further'' ongoing litigations over 3G roaming agreements has dented the growth prospects of data service revenues;

c. spectrum auction response: Due to high reserve prices set for the November 2012 auction'' the response from Operators was mild with no single operator bidding for a pan India spectrum. Further'' in March 2013 spectrum auction'' GSM operators refrained themselves from participation;

d. Declining performance of telecom operators: On account of falling subscribers along with operating losses'' even leading operators like Bharti reported consolidated losses over 12 consecutive quarters;

e. operatorsÂ defaults and penalties: Several Operators faced huge penalties from regulator'' on various counts'' including for spectrum'' 3G roaming pacts'' under reporting of revenues'' non-compliance of KYC norms etc.

As the telecom sector is facing difficulty in raising fresh capital from banks or investors'' this has resulted in their reduced ability to spend and lower capital expenditure. Nevertheless'' the Operators are in process for aggressive rollouts for network expansion for financial year 2013-14. The factors that will drive growth for network services business in India are as follow:

a. Growth of Data services in Indian telecom Market:

The increasing usage of smart phones'' and the growth of Value Added Services and the resultant growth in the data usage would require further investments in augmenting the network;

b. Focus on rural expansion: Though mobile coverage is increasing'' the rural area still holds large untapped potential. With Rural teledensity at 40.01 as at February 2013'' there is good opportunity for growth in rural areas. With a good footprint in rural India'' our Company expects revenue to grow in the long run as a result of growth in demand from the Rural areas;

c. Roll out of 3G and BwA services: The expansion of the 3G networks and rollout of BWA networks will also impact positively'' leading to growth in network services;

d. Quality of services: As the coverage targets have been achieved by most of the operators'' the focus has now shifted to the quality of service and differentiating the customer experience. This is expected to drive consulting revenue in terms of benchmarking networks and optimization.

It is general consensus among market participants and policy makers that given the current state of associated uncertainties in telecom sector'' it may take 2-3 years for this sector to recover'' stabilize and get into growth mode.

6. DeBt RestRuctuRInG

Further to information furnished in the DirectorsÂ Report for financial year 2011-12'' after successful implementation of Corporate Debt restructuring (CDR) package for its Rupee Term Loans'' as approved by CDR EG'' the Company has complied and continues to comply with the terms and conditions of CDR package.

In the year 2010-11, the Company and its subsidiary, CNIL filed petitions in the High Courts of Judicature at Bombay & Madras respectively for approval of the Scheme of Arrangement between the Company and CNIL. The Hon'ble Bombay High Court had sanctioned Scheme of Arrangement for the merger of CNIL with the Company, however, approval is awaited from the Hon'ble Madras High Court.

In the meantime the Company and its subsidiary had approached the Lenders with a proposal to restructure its debts under the CDR Mechanism. Both the proposals of the Company and CNIL respectively have been approved by the CDR Empowered Group. Consequent to these approvals the financials and capital structure of both the Companies have changed substantially and therefore the Company has decided to modify the Scheme of Arrangement and submit it afresh for the approval of the Hon'ble Courts. Approval of the revised Scheme is not likely to be received on or before the date of convening of the ensuing Annual General Meeting, and therefore the financial statements of the Company for the financial year ended March, 31, 2012 are prepared without considering the CNIL financial statements and once the modifed merger scheme between CNIL and Company is approved by the Hon'ble Bombay and Madras High Courts, the Company's financial statements will be re-casted with effect from the Appointed Date as approved by the High Courts.

The consolidated financial statements of the Company prepared in accordance with applicable accounting standards forms part of this Annual Report.

4. RECENT DEVELOPMENTS AT MACRO AND MICRO ECONOMIC LEVEL

The Indian telecom industry has shown minimal growth in the last year. The mobile subscriber base in India has increased to 919.17 Million at the end of March 2012, registering a growth of 0.88%. The share of Urban subscribers that was giving higher average revenue per user has declined to 65.23% from 65.59% whereas share of Rural subscribers has increased to 34.77% in the month of March 2012. With this, the overall Teledensity in India has reached 78.66 at the end of March, 2012.

The industry today is undergoing stress and has been dealing with several challenges on the financial, revenue and profitability fronts on one hand and Regulator, Government and Judiciary on the other hand.

Some of the developments that had negative impact on the sector are

- Cancellation of 122 2G licenses by Supreme Court

- TRAI recommendations for

Rs. Fixation of higher reserve price for spectrum auction

Rs. Re farming of 900 MHz spectrum leading to higher investment by all telecom operators

- Shutting down of Indian operations partially or fully by Etisalat DB, Loop Telecom, S-Tel and cancellation of all 122 2G licences.

- Slower than expected offtake of the 3G roll outs, and the delay in rolling out the BWA networks even after a year of paying out the license fees

The above factors have resulted in lack of investor interest in telecom sector. This had a direct impact on the telecom operator's ability to spend and has resulted into lower capital expenditure. The 3G rollouts were limited to the top 40 cities in India and the primary focus has been on upgrading and utilizing the existing infrastructure. However as the roll out spreads it will lead to the growth of telecom tower sector.

Since the operators have reduced their capital expenduture the expansion is happenning through sharing. The tower industry shifted its focus from building more towers to increasing tenancies. Single-tenant towers are not viable and tower sharing is likely to augment industry profitability.

Moving forward the growth drivers for the tower sector would be as follows

- Growth of Data Services in Indian Telecom Market: the increasing usage of smart phones, and the growth of Value added services and the resultant growth in the data usage would require further investments in augmenting the network

- Focus on rural expansion: with mobile coverage expected to increase, especially in rural areas, there will be a steady increase in tenancies and telecom towers in rural areas

- Rollout of 3G and BWA services: The expansion of the 3G networks and rollout of BWA networks will also impact positively, leading to growth in tenancies

- Quality of Service: the recently launched mobile number portability has encouraged competition amongst operators to lure new customers and retain the existing user base. This is expected to drive additional investment into tower infrastructure to support the Quality of Service (QoS) indicators and differentiation strategies for operators.

Pledge of Promoter shareholding in the Company

Further to the information furnished in the Directors' Report for the FY 2010-11, GTL Limited (GTL), Chennai Network Infrastructure Limited (CNIL) and IFCI Limited (IFCI) are at the final stage of settlement of the dispute, whereupon the shares appropriated by IFCI would be returned to GTL. Also as part of the settlement, IFCI is likely to convert its loan in CNIL into equity shares of CNIL, with the consent from CDR Lenders.

5. CORPORATE DEBT RESTRUCTURING

2. Dividend

The Company is in the process of rolling out 23,700 towers. It is also acquiring 17,500 towers from Aircel Limited and its subsidiaries (Aircel). Thus in view of the ongoing project execution and the acquisition of Aircel Towers, the capital-intensive nature of the business and inadequate profit on account of high depreciation and interest, no dividend has been proposed.

3. Acquisition

The Company has entered into an agreement to purchase the Tower business of Aircel through Chennai Network Infrastructure Limited, a Special Purpose Vehilce (SPV) formed for the said purpose. The highlights of the transaction are as follows;

- Purchase of 17,500 telecom towers;

- Transaction Value Rs.8,400 Crores;

- Aircel has committed additional 20,000 tenancies over the next 3 years;

The transaction is expected to be consummated by July 2010, subject to fulfilment of legal formalities.

This transaction is proposed to be funded through a mix of Debt and Equity as follows:

Equity investment of Rs.3,400 Crores from the Company and its Promoters. While the Company is subscribing through Trust for 51 % of the Equity, GTL Limited and Global Holding Corporation Private Limited, the Promoter Group companies are subscribing for the balance of 49%.

Debt funding of Rs.5,000 Crores has been syndicated and lead managed by SBI Capital Markets Limited.

The purchase of Aircel tower business will deliver strong revenue growth for the Company as the deal assures immediate revenue of Rs. 700 crore p.a. for next 15 years. The Company has also received additional commitment of 20,000 tenancies over a period of next 3 years which will provide additional revenue of Rs. 700 crore p.a. This will be in addition to the existing revenue base of the Company.

The Company will continue to be an independent and neutral player with focus on reducing the capital and operational expenditure of telecom service providers.

4. Operations

During the year under review, the Company earned total Income of Rs. 381.32 Crore (which includes net income from operations of Rs. 347.95 Crore and other income of Rs. 33.37 Crore). The revenues are in the form of infrastructure provisioning fees in respect of our passive infrastructure. The PBDIT has improved from Rs. 167.83 Crore in the previous year to Rs. 224.17 Crore in the year under review. While the Company has a depreciation charge of Rs. 198.32 Crore, Interest & Finance Charges (Net) is Rs. 28.43 Crore. The operations have resulted in a Profit/(Loss) before tax of Rs. (2.58) Crore. However, the operations (before depreciation) have resulted in cash profit before tax of Rs. 195.74 Crore.

Business Strategy

Having achieved considerable size, post the Aircei tower acquisition, the Company has set a vision to be the most efficient tower Company in the World. The goal of the Company is to increase per tower revenue and cashflows. This is being done by increasing the tenancy per tower. The expansion by existing dual technology operators, rollout by new 2G operators and impending 3G network rollout present the Company with opportunity to improve tenancy on towers.

The Company post Aircei should have significant tower presence on pan-India basis. The Company plans to deploy new towers as well as grow inorganically to improve its tower penetration in the interiors of the Country. Existing tower sharing will give operators an opportunity for speedy 2G & 3G network rollout while enjoying the sharing benefits in the form of reduced operational and energy cost.

Future Outlook

With a subscriber base of over 621 Mn, India is the 2nd largest Telecom.market in the World. The introduction of low cost handsets and impending 3G & WiMAX rollout is expected to be the next growth driver for the industry. Presence of more than 12 operators in each circle, increasing subscriber base and spectrum scarcity for incumbent operators in key markets will augur well for the tower industry.

Post acquisition of Aircei Towers, the Company will be in a better position to capture the growth opportunity offered by the Network rollout by new 2G & 3G operators and thereby improve tenancy on its towers.
