    Bharti Airtel in talks to sell its Sri Lankan operations to Etisalat

    NEW DELHI: Bharti Airtel, the world's fourth largest telecom operator by subscribers, is in advanced discussions to sell off its Sri Lankan operations to Abu Dhabi's Etisalat, said two persons aware of the development.

    According to one such person, Standard Chartered Bank is advising the Indian company in the transaction. Bharti AirtelBSE 4.97 % Lanka, which has a subscriber base of 1.7 million, has been valued between $110 million and $130 million. Etisalat is Sri Lanka's third-largest operator with 4.5 million subscribers and it will move up to the second spot if the deal goes through.

    Responding to a questionnaire on the sale of its operations to Etisalat, Airtel said as a policy it didn't respond to market speculations. Standard Chartered declined comment while Etisalat could not be reached for comments. Sri Lanka reportedly has an addressable mobile market of about 22 million, with penetration levels of around 85%.

    "In a country like Sri Lanka, an operator has to be either the largest or the second-largest to make money," said the second person aware of the development, while explaining why the deal was important for the Abu Dhabibased operator. Airtel's growth prospects in the island nation, on the other hand, were limited as it just had 1.7 million subscribers.

    The company's subscribers have not grown in the past four quarters and despite investing over $300 million since 2007, the unit continues to make losses. "The Sri Lankan operation has been a cash guzzler for Bharti,'' said the first person.

    While Bharti Airtel doesn't report the financial numbers for Sri Lanka separately, sources told ET that the company had posted revenue of Rs 320 crore for the quarter ended June 2013 and a net loss of Rs 190 crore.

    The company, which entered the Sri Lankan market in 2009 as the country's fifth operator, offers 2G, 3G and 3.5G services in the island nation across all the 25 districts and it has built a distributor network of 40,500 retailers.

    With a small population, the Sri Lankan market turned out to be a difficult game for India's largest telecom operator whose foray had begun with stiff resistance from the local operators in 2009.

    Fearing the size and scale of Airtel's operations, incumbent operators had resisted giving interconnection to it, a trouble which later resolved. Airtel's operations were later mired in controversy as it tried to launch a price war in the market, which was later thwarted by the telecom regulator for being anti-competitive.

    ලංකාවේ එයාර්ටෙල් එටිසලාට් වෙත විකිණීමට සියල්ල සුදානම්!

    ග්‍රාහකයන් සංඛ්‍යාව අතින් ලෝකයේ හතරවන සතානයේ පසුවන භාරති එයාර්ටෙල් සමාගමේ ලංකාවේ මෙහෙයෙම් කටයුතු අබුඩාබි හි එටිසලාට් සමාගම වෙත විකිණීමට කටයුතු යොදා ඇතිබවට "ඉකොනොමික් ටයිම්ස්" පුවත්පත වාර්තා කරනවා.

    මෙම ගණදෙනුව සඳහා භාරතී එයාර්ටෙල් සමාගම වෙත උපදෙස් ලබාදෙනු ලබන්නේ ස්ටෑන්ඩර්ඩ් චාර්ටඩ් බැංකුව විසිනි. ලංකාවේ එයාර්ටෙල් පාර්භෝගිකයන් සංඛ්‍යාව මිලියන 1.7 කි. එටිසලාට් ශ්‍රීලංකා හි පාරිභෝගික සංඛ්‍යාව මිලියන 4.5 ක් වන අතර ඔවුන් දැනට ලංකාවේ තෙවන විශාලතම දුරකථන ජාලය වේ.

    මිලියන 1.7 ක ග්‍රාහකයන් සිටින එයාර්ටෙල් හි ශ්‍රිලංකාවේ මෙහෙයුම් කටයුතුවල වටිනාකම දැනට අගයකොට ඇත්තේ ඩොලර් මිලියන 110 ත් 130 අතර මුදලකටය. 2007 වසරේ සිට ඔවුන් ශ්‍රිලංකාවේ ඩොලර් මිලියන 300 ක් ආයෝජනය කොට තිබුනත් පසුගිය කාර්තු හතරේදීම ඔවුන්ගේ පාරිභෝගික සංඛ්‍යාව වැඩිකරගැනීමට නොහැකිවූ නිසා මෙම තීරණය ගෙන ඇත.

    ඔවුන් ශ්‍රිලංකාවේ සිදුකල ආයෝජනය හදුන්වන්නේ මුදල් කා දැමීමේ ව්‍යාපෘතියක් ලෙසය. ඔවුන් පෙන්වාදෙන පරිදි ලංකාවේ දුරකථන ජාලයක් මගින් ලාභ ලබාගැනීමටනම් එය ලංකාවේ පළමු හෝ දෙවන තත්වයේ පසුවන දුරකථන ජාලය විය යුතුය.

    එයාර්ටෙල් ලංකාවට පැමිණීමේදී බොහෝ දෙනා සිතුවේ එය විපල්වීය වෙනසක් වනු ඇතිබවය.

    එයාර්ටෙල් ලබාගැනීමට එම දිනවල බොහෝ තදබදයක් පැවති අතර බොහෝ දෙනා සිතුවේ එයාර්ටෙල් පැමිණීම සමග ඩයලොග් සමාගම කඩා වැටෙනු ඇති බවටයි. නමුත් එයාර්ටෙල් බලාපොරොත්තු වූ පරිදි අඩු මිලකට සන්නිවේදන පහසුකම් ලබාදීම මගින් මිල යුද්ධයකට එළඹීමට ශ්‍රී ලංකාවේ විදුලි සංදේශන නියාමන කොමිසම මගින් ඉඩ ලබා නොදුන් අතර සේවා ලබාදීමට අවම මිලක් නියම කිරීම තුල මිල මගින් තරඟයක් ලබාදීමට කිසිදු සමාගමකට නොහැකි විය.

    ඒ අනුව ඔවුන්ට දැන් තරඟ කිරීමට සිදුවන්නේ ඔවුන් සපයන සේවාවේ ගුණාත්මක භාවයතුලින් පමණි.
