We wrote recently about the pressure on <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/22204" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:22204:1">Vodafone's (VOD LN)</a> Indian subsidiary's merger with  <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/15678" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:15678:1">IDEA (IDEA IN)</a>. The combined business, assuming the merger proceeds (and some doubts are starting to appear despite final approval) will remain under pressure even as synergies are delivered. It was another tough quarter for the Indian wireless operators, with revenue and profit continuing to slide, albeit at a slightly slower pace than seen in 3Q (affected by IUC cuts).

The Indian Economy and Public-Sector Banks – On the Edge of A Precipice

* Capital Hole Has Been Dug: Punjab National Bank (PNB.IN) is in desperate need of a INR 550 bn capital infusion post the Nirav Modi fraud; this amounts to 134% of stated equity, in our view.* No Credible Plan in Place: Despite knowing of this fraud for several months, PNB nor the government would appear to have any form of credible bailout plan in place.
