Telcos' operating profit likely to grow 12-14% this fiscal on data surge: Crisil Ratings
Synopsis India's telecom industry is projected to see a 12–14% rise in operating profit, reaching ₹1.55 lakh crore in FY26, driven by higher data consumption and rising ARPU, Crisil Ratings said. ARPU is set to rise to ₹220–225 from ₹205, aided by 5G rollout and premium data plans. Lower capex post-5G rollout is expected to boost free cash flow to ₹70,000 crore, improving credit profiles. ANI The operating profit of telecom companies in India is expected to grow 12-14 per cent to about Rs 1.55 lakh crore this fiscal, driven by more data consumption and rise in average revenue per user, Crisil Ratings said on Monday. The "robust" operating performance, along with declining capital expenditure intensity of leading players post 5G rollout, is seen improving free cash flow, supporting credit profiles of leading players in the industry. The telecom industry benefits from high operating leverage, Crisil Ratings said adding that its analysis suggests that every Re 1 increase in ARPU adds Rs 850-950 crore to the industry's operating profit. "Operating profit (Ebitdar or Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortisation and payment of lease rentals) of India's telecom companies will grow a strong 12-14 per cent to about Rs 1.55 lakh crore this fiscal, driven by surging data consumption and a consequent increase in the average revenue per user (ARPU)," Crisil Ratings said in a release. The analysis of three telcos, with about 93 per cent of subscriber market share, indicates as much, it added. The operating profit metrics last fiscal, grew at about 17 per cent, lifted predominantly due to tariff hikes. This fiscal, however, the growth will be supported by strong intrinsic factors, as per Crisil Ratings. ARPU is expected to climb to Rs 220-225 this fiscal from Rs 205 last fiscal, largely on account of rising data consumption, according to Anand Kulkarni, Director of Crisil Ratings. "Wider availability of 5G network, with penetration expected to touch 45-47 per cent by March 2026 from about 35 per cent as of March 2025, is fuelling data consumption for applications such as social media, video streaming, gaming, generative artificial intelligence and digital marketing," Kulkarni said. The data usage is expected to increase to 31-32 GB in FY26 from about 27 GB in the previous fiscal. "Additionally, the Indian telcos have been rebalancing their offerings by reducing plans with low data limit or offering 5G services only on plans offering higher data limit. This trend is expected to move consumers to premium plans, boosting telco ARPU," Kulkarni added. With rising demand for data-driven services, telcos have introduced premium plans that bundle over-the-top (OTT) services, a strategy that also helps telcos upselling and raise their ARPUs. Moreover, internet penetration in rural and semi-urban areas is expected to increase by 4-5 per cent rising to 82 per cent by fiscal 2026. Users shifting from voice-only plans to data plans will further boost ARPU. Typically, a voice-only plan with validity of 28 days is priced about Rs 100 lower than an entry level data plan of the same validity. Increase in ARPU results in surge in operating profit, given that about 60 per cent of the overall cost of telcos are fixed in nature, Crisil Ratings explained. "Thus, telecom industry benefits from high operating leverage and our analysis suggests that every Re 1 increase in ARPU adds Rs 850-950 crore to the industry Ebitdar," it said. The expansion in operating profit will also improve free cash flow because of lower capex requirements. Nitin Bansal, Associate Director, Crisil Ratings noted that capex intensity, at 31 per cent average over the past two fiscals, is expected to moderate to 24-26 per cent this fiscal as a large part of 5G network rollout has been completed by the leading telcos. Further, most of the spectrum purchase was completed in fiscal 2023 and next significant spectrum renewal are due in 2030. "This will result in healthy operating free cash flow of around Rs 70,000 crore this fiscal, a large part of which will likely be utilised for debt reduction," Bansal said. As a result, net leverage is estimated at about 2.7 times this fiscal, a cool off from 3.4 times in fiscal 2025. "This augurs well for the credit profiles, especially for the leading telcos," Bansal added. Crisil Ratings' assessment does not factor in any tariff hike this fiscal and the release added that any tariff hike will have an upside for ARPU, resulting in further improvement in free cash flows this fiscal and the next.

Fewer fake firs, higher prices: China tariff delay does little to save the holidays
Synopsis U.S. retailers are reducing orders for artificial Christmas trees and decorations due to tariffs on Chinese imports, leading to fewer choices and higher prices for consumers. A temporary tariff reprieve came too late to significantly impact holiday inventory. While some businesses are attempting to expedite shipments, manufacturing bottlenecks and existing inventory levels limit the effect of this extension. Agencies U.S. shoppers looking for fake Christmas trees and holiday decor this year will have fewer choices and face higher prices as tariffs on Chinese imports force retailers to scale back orders as they assess how tight customer budgets are. A 90-day extension to a tariff reprieve - agreed to by Washington and Beijing on August 11 - will allow retailers to rush in some last-minute shipments, but most holiday purchases are already done. Retailers typically import seasonal goods in advance because many products need six-month lead times. "We're going to have a lower supply year," said Chris Butler, CEO of National Tree Company, a New Jersey-based artificial tree importer supplying Walmart, Home Depot, Lowe's and Amazon. The company, which sources roughly half its trees from China and the rest from Vietnam, Cambodia, and Thailand, will hike prices by 10% to 20% on its Carolina pine, Nordic spruce, and Dunhill fir trees, Butler said. China is the biggest exporter of Christmas decorations to the U.S., accounting for 87% of such imports last year, worth roughly $4 billion, according to United States International Trade Commission data. "We're not overbuying (from our suppliers) because we're not sure about consumer demand and don't want expensive inventory on our books," Butler said. Big retailers are more keen than usual to have National Tree ship directly to consumers rather than buying them as inventory, reducing the stores' risk on their balance sheets. Butler's rival, Mac Harman, CEO of California-based Balsam Hill, expects about 15% fewer trees in the market this season. "Even with the extended 90 days, it's too late for any of us to add orders," he said. Retailers started cutting orders after U.S. President Donald Trump flip-flopped on China tariffs - raising them to 145% in April, then cutting them to 30% a month later - because they are unwilling to buy trees at elevated prices, said Harman. He sources trees from around 80 suppliers, half of which are in China. Still, the latest pause has netted Balsam Hill some $2.5 million in savings, he said. A Walmart spokesperson said the company was confident in its inventory position heading into the holiday. Home Depot and Amazon declined to comment, while Lowe's did not respond to a Reuters request for comment. 'STILL TOO MUCH' The reduced demand for fake trees, a key Christmas purchase, signals a muted shopping season. Higher prices on essentials like diapers and dish soap have already strained budgets. Denim maker Levi Strauss said last month it will offer a leaner holiday selection. Isaac Larian, CEO of MGA Entertainment that makes Bratz dolls, said a 30% tariff on toys "is still too much." The company has raised prices, he said. Only goods shipped by air would benefit from the delay in higher tariffs, said Chris Rogers, head of supply chain research, S&P Global Market Intelligence. Companies including Apple that have upcoming product launches will gain from the certainty that there will be a 30% tariff, he said. Some suppliers, shippers, and retailers, however, started rushing extra orders after the moratorium was announced, industry sources said. While most footwear makers simplified holiday orders due to tariff uncertainty, a few are placing new orders to add variety to their inventory, said Matt Priest, CEO of industry group Footwear Distributors and Retailers of America (FDRA). It may not be simple to ramp up orders, though. Imports face manufacturing bottlenecks as brands that diversified to other countries after initial tariffs now face delays before new manufacturers can scale up, said Dave Tu, president of DCL Logistics, which imports for clients like GoPro. By and large, this tariff extension changes little for holiday imports. For most companies, said FDRA's Priest, holiday inventory "is what it is."

23% of 560 million PM Jan Dhan accounts remain inactive, says govt
As many as 23 per cent of the total 560.4 million Pradhan Mantri Jan Dhan Yojana (PMJDY) accounts are inoperative, Minister of State for Finance Pankaj Chaudhary said on Monday. Out of 560.3 million PMJDY accounts at the end of July 31, 2025, 130.4 million such accounts are inoperative, he said in a written reply in the Lok Sabha. Uttar Pradesh has the highest number of inoperative Jan Dhan accounts at 27.5 million, followed by Bihar at 13.9 million and Madhya Pradesh at 10.7 million, he said. As per the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) guidelines dated February 18, 2009, a savings account should be treated as inoperative/dormant if there are no transactions in the account for over a period of two years. The government has taken various steps to ensure smooth functioning of PMJDY accounts, including Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT). These benefits are transferred even to the inactive accounts. Banks inform account holders in writing through letters or email or SMS about the accounts which are to become inactive and also contact the holder(s) of the inoperative accounts through letters, email or SMS on a quarterly basis, he said. The government launches various specific campaigns from time to time for promotion of enrolment under various schemes, as well as for issues like activation of inoperative accounts, he said. Recently, a Gram Panchayat level Saturation Campaign has been launched from July 1, 2025 to September 30, 2025 across the country wherein Re-KYC of 'inactive PMJDY accounts' is one of the key focus activities of the campaign, he said. Replying to another question, Chaudhary said there is no proposal to impose transaction charges on UPI, at present. "In order to ensure continuity of the UPI services by the ecosystem partners, the government had implemented the incentive scheme during the last four years i.e. FY 2021-22 to FY 2024-25. During this period, the government has extended incentive support of approximately Rs 8,730 crore," he said. In reply to another question, Chaudhary said Public Sector Banks (PSBs) raise capital from the market to meet their capital requirements from time to time. The robust financial strength of PSBs has boosted investors' confidence, enabling them to raise capital from the market. Banks raise capital from the market in the form of equity, Basel III compliant Additional Tier-I and Tier-II bonds. "Total amount of capital raised by PSBs in the form of both equity and bonds during the last three financial years (FY2022-23 to FY 2024-25) amounts to Rs 1,53,978 crore (Rs 44,942 crore in FY2022-23, Rs 57,380 crore in FY 2023-24 and Rs 51,656 core in FY 2024-25)," he said. The fresh raising of capital by banks is used for various purposes, which included meeting the capital needs of banks to support credit growth, meeting regulatory requirements for capital adequacy, complying with minimum public shareholding norms by increasing public shareholding, replenishing AT-1 bonds due for exercising call option, strengthening the overall capital position of the bank and creating capital buffer for their future business requirements, he said. Replying to another question, Chaudhary said the ratio of Gross Non-Performing Assets in gold loans to the outstanding gold loans for SCBs has increased marginally from 0.20 per cent in March 2023 to 0.22 per cent in March 2025, while for Upper- and Middle-Layer NBFCs it has increased from 1.21 per cent to 2.14 per cent over the same period. The RBI has further informed that the data related to gold loans sanctioned by SCBs and NBFCs is not maintained by it, he said. The Office of the RBI Ombudsman has received 188 complaints related to gold loans during the financial year 2024-25, he said, adding that these complaints are handled in accordance with the provisions of the RBI Integrated Ombudsman Scheme, 2021. To a question with regard to RBI's current official position on the regulation and legal status of cryptoassets, Chaudhary replied that RBI has informed that cryptocurrencies and crypto assets do not fall under its regulatory domain.
