These reports offer NDTV Profit's subscribers an opportunity to expand their understanding of companies, sectors and the economy.

ICICI Securities Report

Indus Towers Ltd.'s Q2 FY25 performance was good on two counts:

  1. stable net tenancy addition at 4,308 with some benefit already showing from Vodafone Idea Ltd./BSNL rollout; and

  2. strong cash collection, including Rs 10.8 billion collected towards past overdue.

Indus has also seen a rise in rental/tenant, reflecting the benefit of rising 5G loading, and lower drag from renewals. Vodafone Idea should embark on a capex cycle, which will likely provide opportunity for tenancy growth for Indus immediately; and Indus is prepared for increased competitive intensity or price pressure.

We have baked in dominant incremental tenancy share for Indus in the Vodafone Idea rollout, which remains unchanged; but our DCF-based target price has increased to Rs 280 (from Rs 270), factoring in buy back. Maintain Sell, as risk-reward is still unfavorable.
