Vodafone India has confirmed that the Company is in
discussion with Aditya Birla Group for an all share merger
of Vodafone. A merger under discussion between Vodafone
Group Plc.s India unit and Idea Cellular Ltd. would create
a new leader in one of the worlds most competitive
mobile-phone markets. For rivals, theres a silver lining:
bandwidth on the cheap. Thats because a transaction may
compel the carriers to shed some spectrum and subscribers
to ensure regulatory approval under Indias competition
rules. Vodafone and Idea are weighing options on excess
airwaves including selling or sharing them. Spectrum worth
more than 60 billion rupees ($890 million) could be at
stake, according to Credit Suisse Group AG analysts. The
two carriers would probably sell the spectrum at a lower
price than originally purchased. Such disposals could make
it more difficult for Idea and Vodafone to take. Vodafones
India unit and Idea declined to comment in e-mailed
responses to questions.
Vodafones India and Idea are in discussion for the merger.
The proposal is Vodafones India shall merge with Idea

Air India has reported a modest operating profit of Rs 105
crore during the previous financial year ending 2015-16.
The operational profit also comes two years ahead of the
target as per Air Indias turnaround plan under which it will
receive about Rs 30,000 crore in dole from the
government. It is a significant milestone for the ailing
national carrier but it is because 1. operational profit and
the airline returned a significant net loss during the year
under review - in fact, with Rs 3,587 crore, this comes to
about Rs 10 crore net loss every single day. 2. lower fuel
prices served as one of the main reasons for this happy
state of affairs. If these begin to rise, a modest operational
profit will quickly evaporate.
Air Indias losses stood at Rs 5,490.16 crore, Rs 6,279.6
crore and Rs 5,859.91 crore in 2012-13, 2013-14 and
2014-15, respectively. For FY16, the net loss was close to
Rs 4,000 crore. While fuel accounts for the single largest
cost head, employee expenses also account for close to 10
percent of total costs. Air India accounts for the largest
share of Indian airlines total debt pile. The airline was
sitting on borrowings of over Rs 51,000 crore till March
31, 2015. MoS Aviation Mahesh Sharma said in Parliament
in March that Air India's total debt burden of Rs 51,367.07
crore includes Rs 22,574.09 crore outstanding on account
of aircraft loans. According to data provided in the
Parliament, Air India's losses stood at Rs 5,490.16 crore,
Rs 6,279.6 crore and Rs 5,859.91 crore in 2012-13, 2013-
14 and 2014-15, respectively. For FY16, the net loss was
close to Rs 4,000 crore. While fuel accounts for the single
largest cost head, employee expenses also account for
close to 10 percent of total costs. In other words, 10 paise
out of every rupee spent by AI is used to pay employee
salaries. This, when the airline has already hived off two
subsidiaries - one for ground handling and another for
 engineering - and also halved the total manpower. Besides
this, the airline is also on a hiring spree too, taking in more
cabin and cockpit crew. Air India accounts for the largest
share of Indian airlines total debt pile. The airline was
sitting on borrowings of over Rs 51,000 crore till March
31, 2015. MoS Aviation Mahesh Sharma said in Parliament
in March that Air India's total debt burden of Rs 51,367.07
crore includes Rs 22,574.09 crore outstanding on account
of aircraft loans.
