In Q1, FY 2080/81 (Shrawan, Bhadra and Ashoj, 2080), Ntc generated revenue of Rs 10 arab, 64 crore, 87 lakh, and 93 thousand. During the same period last FY (Ashoj, 2079), the company posted the figure of Rs 11 arab, 4 crore, and 90 thousand in revenue. That is, the state-backed company’s revenue decreased by Rs 39 crore, 12 lakh, and 97 thousand or by 3.54%.

Reasons for revenue and profit decrease

Ntc has pinned the blame on the following reasons for its fall or changes in its revenue and profits:

  • The growth in OTT usage has hit hard on the revenues coming from interconnection. Due to this reason, the company saw its revenue fall by Rs 49 crore, 14 lakh, and 85 thousand compared to the first quarter of 2079/80. NTA has branded OTT use for calls illegal.
  • Decrease in the use of the company’s services due to economic recession.
  • Rs 5.99 crore gain from foreign exchange due to the changes in exchange rates.
  • Sites not being able to come into operation due to the adverse weather conditions which impacted electricity supply and maintenance.
  • Due to the damages caused to its infrastructure during construction, expansion, and relocation works by government agencies and also the damages incurred from the cable management works carried out by municipalities and ward offices.
  • For expanding services in remote and rural areas which are commercially less potential and also the service upgradation works which is raising its investment expenditures.
  • Changes in service rate policies and rules that decreased its service tariffs adversely affected its revenues.
  • The loss of Rs 14.81 crore in financial revenue is due to the changes in the bank’s interest rates.

Low revenues becoming a concern!

The latest report highlights the continuous loss of revenues for Nepal Telecom, but it also reflects the state of the industry in general. Ncell, a private operator and Ntc’s immediate competitor has also been facing the same fate with its finances.

Both companies have maintained revenue losses on decreasing voice services, cheaper data packs, increasing OTT usage, etc. To combat the dwindling finances of telcos, NTA reasons, that it’s seeking to implement TERAMOCS. However, so far, both companies have expressed hesitation to sign up for the project citing user data concerns, phone-tapping, and other reasons.

Do you think Ntc’s lowering revenues again in Q1, FY 2080/81 should be a worry, or do you think the company should seek earnings from different perspectives than just Ntc Fiber internet, and Ntc data packs? Do share your input in the comments below.

An experienced tech writer covering news mostly on telecommunication, internet, latest tech & trends, and Gadgets. Being a technophile, I am particularly fascinated by the evolution of mobile networks in Nepal from legacy networks (2G, 3G) to 4G (with VoLTE, VoWiFi, eSIM) and the prospects of the upcoming 5G, and equally enthralled by the development of internet from the dial-up connection to the 2 Gbps XGS-PON fiber broadband technology and their transformative impact in the country.
