We have analysts of diverse nationalities who are able to access information in their respective local languages to provide customers with comprehensive reports.

We are also able to undertake ad hoc company and industry research reports.

The total number of telecom towers in India stood at about 420,000 at the end of FY 2016 and the industry was estimated to rake in INR 1.36 trillion in annual revenue, with Bharti Infratel and Indus Towers accounting for 40.8% of the total market share. As the need to manage data traffic rises, tenancy ratio of towers is expected to increase from 1.7-1.9 to 2.9 by March 2020. We believe that this form of leasing will contribute significantly to the top line of telecom tower companies in India.

Historically, India’s net oil subsidy was a myth after factoring taxes on petroleum products. But in the last two years, as oil prices declined internationally, the Government went further, and shifted to an oppressive regime of punitive oil taxes. In earlier years, economists linked to the capital market were vociferous in their condemnation of oil subsidies, and advocated ‘market pricing’ of this key resource, as subsidies, they argued, distorted the market. Even at that time, their argument ignored the glaring fact of taxes on petroleum products. However, it is even more remarkable that for the past two years the same economists populating policy-making, credit rating and capital markets appear to have lost their voices when the Indian government violated market prices in the contrary direction, sharply raising the rate of petroleum taxes. This was done despite the demand slowdown in the economy. Heavy petroleum taxes have no doubt helped to meet fiscal deficit commitments and satisfying global investors. But they have helped suppress an already faltering consumer demand.
