So What Has RCOM Achieved?

GSM net adds overcome RCOM's offer — GSM net adds (excl. RCOM) for Jan-09

was 9.3m, up from 8.1m in Dec-08. While Bharti’s net adds remained stable at
2.73m, Vodafone and Idea had significant acceleration. The net adds for the GSM
incumbents was strong across various categories (Metro/A/B/C), and even the new
launches (Idea in Bihar/Mumbai, Vod in Orissa, MP) were not affected.


What's happening in the market? — In Metro/A circles, Bharti/Vod/Idea maintained

or accelerated their net adds. This is intriguing given that RCOM’s offer would
have focused on larger cities/towns initially. Absence of any impact could be due
to (i) incumbents’ gross adds coming from semi-urban/rural areas not covered by
RCOM and (ii) RCOM’s subs coming mainly from dual-SIM owners, which does not
show up as incumbents’ churn as increasing % have lifetime validity. In any case,
churn numbers remain subjective with material variations in reporting policies.


New launches have weathered the storm too — Vod/Idea accelerated the net adds

in their new circles. Since data in new circles is mostly gross adds, it is quite
encouraging, esp. Idea’s surge in Mumbai in Jan-09 (60% of net adds) despite
being the focus of RCOM launch. While Idea’s reactionary tariffs in Mumbai seem
to have worked, we don’t see any need/motivation to replicate it elsewhere.

>Daily Market Preview (MARWADI FINANCIAL)

* We expect markets to hold on to its gain as Indian equities are showing
resilience and price recovery is very much in place. Lower inflation and
positive expectation from the third stimulus package could provide further
direction to the local indices. However IIP numbers due to high base effect
could partially dampen the overall sentiments.

* While Asian markets are trading weak India is likely to open lower however
we see strong support around 2800 level. We advise buying large caps in
Capital Goods, Infrastructure, Construction, Oil and Banking sectors.
