Thematic (Sector/Industry)

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.

We have been incessantly cautioning for a corrective phase in our stock markets mainly due to excessive valuations based of unrealistic growth expectations. While we expected a correction, it came from completely unexpected quarters. The beneficiaries from the favorable macro tidings (monsoons, pay commission) in what was supposed to be a very strong 2HFY17 have suffered a setback post-demonetization. This prompts us to re-evaluate our sector and market cap preferences in this edition of the Ampersand newsletter.
