MUMBAI: DEN Networks has a capital expenditure plan of around Rs 80 crore over the next 12 months as it seeks to expand its digital cable TV and broadband business.
While the net capex for cable TV will be around Rs 50 crore, the broadband investment will be in the region of 30 crore.
DEN is going to seed an additional 1.5–2 million set-top boxes (STBs) in the DAS Phase IV areas. The cash subsidy is currently at about Rs 200–250 per STB. DEN’s total cable TV universe stands at 13 million.
On the broadband side, the MSO plans to expand to around 20 towns. The opening of the broadband infrastructure for each town will cost about Rs 1 crore to 1.5 crore.
DEN will continue to drive penetration in Delhi, for which it will incur the CPE (customer premises equipment) capex including modems, router and home wiring.
DEN expects its net content cost to be Rs 120 crore in FY17. This is expected to increase to Rs 200 crore in FY18,
which would include digitisation in DAS Phase IV areas.
