It is finally official. Vodafone Plc on Monday confirmed that it was in talks
with Idea Cellular
, an Aditya Birla Group company, for a possible merger. Vodafone Plc said that
any merger would be effected through issue of new shares in Idea to Vodafone.
Vodafone confirms that it is in discussions with Aditya Birla Group about an
all-share merger of Vodafone India (excluding Vodafones 42% stake in Indus
Towers) and Idea, the British company said in a statement, adding that its
Indian operations would be deconsolidated as a result if the merger went
through. Indus Towers is the largest telecom tower company in India and is
jointly owned by industry majors Bharti, Vodafone and Idea.
The noise around the merger got accelerated last Friday as Idea decided to delay
its quarterly results without any explanation. The Street typically views this
as a sign before a possible corporate action being announced.
Moneycontrols sister entity CNBC TV 18 broke news of the merger last August.
Sources close to the two sides told Moneycontrol that the talks began at the top
level that month, when Vodafone Plcs representatives are understood to have met
group chairman Kumar Mangalam Birla in Mumbai. The British telecom major was
keen on a possible merger back then so that it could bid for spectrum in the
October auction, keeping in mind the synergies, the sources said.
They added that Kumar Birla did not want to cede operational control in the new
company. Even after Mondays announcement, it was not immediately clear who
would call the shots in the merged entity.
In case Vodafone does decide to cede management control, Birla may have to pay a
premium to the British telecom major for giving up management control. Its
understood that Vodafone, which faces stiff competition from the recently
launched Reliance Jio, has long been unhappy with operating conditions in India
and has been unable to grow market share in the past year.
Without a merger happening, Vodafone and Idea would each have to cough up Rs
20,000 crore for the roll-out of data services.
According to Bank of America Merrill Lynch, The management teams strategies,
ownership and control would need to be decided. Any potential integration issues
are not ruled out given the scale benefits. For instance, the vendors would
likely need to be realigned, where some network disruption risks remain.
Had the merger been decided upon before the spectrum auction, both Idea and
Vodafone would not have had to cough up the amounts they did in October. The
sources said that Vodafone on its part had been keen on the merger back then and
continues to be so even now, as a merger will not only create the countrys
largest telecom company with a market share of 43 percent but will also lead to
operational efficiencies.

Idea has a revenue marketshare of 20 percent while Vodafone has a revenue

marketshare of 23 percent. Bharti Airtel on the other hand has as revenue
marketshare of 33 percent.
Potential problems the merger may face
1. The merger would need the blessings of the Competition Commission of India
(CCI). For getting such approval, the merged entity would likely have to
relinquish spectrum in a few circles like Gujarat, Maharashtra, Haryana, Kerala
and UP West. Additionally, it would have to liberalise its historical spectrum
amounting to Rs 2,000-3,000 crore.
2. Tower company Induss shareholding pattern would need to be realigned.
Currently Bharti and Vodafone have equal ownership at 42% each with
Idea/Providence owning the remaining 16%. Any Vodafone-Idea merger would need to
see tower ownership realigned, says Bank of America Merrill Lynch. The tower
companys value may be impacted as rentals may decline post merger.
3. Integration risks can take attention of management from the market. Experts
expect the completion of the merger by December this year.$("<div
