Strengths of the Company

These are the strengths of Bharti Hexacom Limited:

  • Bharti Hexacom Limited is a leading telecom provider in Rajasthan and North East India. It has a customer base of 27.1 million and the highest VLR market share in the North East circle. The company offers telecom services at a competitive price to acquire high-value customers. In addition, it has a plan to expand its fixed-line and broadband services in 90 cities through partnerships with local cable operators.
  • The company operates in telecom areas with a high-growth potential. ARPU (average revenue per user) is also growing faster than the national average in these circles. Government investments in infrastructure development projects like BharatNet and better air, rail, and road connectivity will further improve telecom opportunities in these circles.
  • The company has a network infrastructure with a mix of owned and leased towers. It gets benefits from its promoter Bharti Airtel Limited and Indus Towers (Airtel has invested in this company). Additionally, there are high entry barriers due to regulations, capital expenditure and competition which makes it difficult for new companies to replicate Bharti's infrastructure in its circle.
  • As of 31st December 2023, Bharti Hexacom Limited has 75 stores and 600+ distributors across the rural and urban areas of North East Circle and Rajasthan. Its distribution partners use the ‘Mitra’ app which helps to facilitate mobile recharges and new customer onboardings.

Risks Involved

These are some of the risks involved with the business of Bharti Hexacom Limited:

  • The company is highly dependent on selling its services in particular regions of India (Rajasthan and North East Circle). If any unfavourable conditions occur in those regions, it will negatively affect the overall business, financial condition and operations.
  • There are some ongoing legal proceedings against the company and its promoters. The company cannot assure that the outcome will go in its favour.
  • The company had some contingent liabilities as of 31st December 2023 which was not provided in their restated financial information.
  • The regulatory ceiling on pricing can decrease the revenue earned from telecom services. This, in turn, could lead to a reduction in the Average Revenue Per User (ARPU) of the company
