The government has no plan to convert any further statutory dues of Vodafone Idea into equity, as it does not want to turn the private telco into a state-run company, communications minister Jyotiraditya Scindia told ET in an interview. The minister also said Elon Musk-owned Starlink has yet to meet all guidelines for securing a satcom permit. He also said he's working to make India Post profitable in the next five to six years. Edited excerpts:The government owns 49% in Vodafone Idea (Vi). Are you open to raising this further?No, then it (Vi) becomes a public sector undertaking (PSU).But Vi's balance adjusted gross revenue (AGR) and spectrum dues are still large and repayments will need to be made shortly?That is something the company must tackle. The relief proposal of equity was utilised, and I have converted till 49%, otherwise you become a PSU. What is due to the government is due to the government, it is incumbent upon the players to pay that to the government. 120529897Any plan to merge Vi with BSNL?No.Is a GMPCS (global mobile personal communications by satellite services) permit for Starlink a done deal in India?The minute you (companies) check all the boxes, you will get the licence. Then you have to go to IN-SPACe to get a clearance, and (telecom regulator) Trai announces its policy on pricing of spectrum. Every player will get the spectrum at the same price because it is administratively assigned. Profitable BSNL a Big Deal I am consumer-centric and player-agnostic. Everyone is welcome in India.What is the status of Starlink's application?That process is going on. The minute they clear all the requirements, we are ready to give the licence.What are Starlink's pending requirements?It's not only related to DoT, but also to internal security - gateways have to be in India, any user terminal has to be registered in India...the minute they check all the boxes, which I also hope will be soon, the licence should be given. I am eager that all satellite companies must participate in Indian space. That gives my last-mile consumer connectivity, that's my job - to be able to provide connectivity.With technology constantly evolving, do you expect satcom to compete with terrestrial networks? Will administrative allocation continue even then?We have gone from no G to 5G. Technology is ever evolving...(But) You cannot sell something in an auction that is shared. From a physics point of view, it's not possible...(But) If the technology changes, then you can, but something that is shared, you can't sell.BSNL posted a net profit in the December quarter. Do you expect the trend to continue?BSNL posted a quarterly net profit of Rs 262 crore after 18 years. It is such a big deal after you reported a net loss for 72 quarters.What is the status of BSNL's 4G rollout?Till date, we have installed about 90,000-odd towers, of which 76,000 are being commissioned. We are now doing the last mile and by July, we will install all the 100,000 towers. Once that happens, we are looking at measuring the quality of service (QoS) and various other parameters.You think 100,000 towers are enough?They are not...But first you put the 100,000 towers and stabilise the core. Once that is done, the network can be augmented.Will 5G be launched simultaneously?No. Once the 100,000 towers will be put up and the network is stabilised, once we see that the QoS is up to the mark, and then we start switching. Moving from 4G to 5G is not that difficult.Are you considering allowing foreign equipment suppliers to bid for BSNL's 5G contract?No, why should we? We have developed our own core and RAN. Why should we forgo our indigenous technology for foreign players? India is now in a select group of 4-5 countries that have developed 4G/5G technology. We will be competitors to foreign companies. We want to take our technology to the world.What is your vision for India Post with so much transformation happening?It is my hope that India Post, which is today a cost centre for the government, becomes profit making going forward. The expenditure of India Post is Rs 35,000-36,000 crore, revenues are about Rs 12,000-14,000 crore, so the net cost to the government is around Rs 22,000 crore. I want to eventually turn this into a profit centre. I am looking at a 5-6 year timeframe for the transformation.
