Even as the government is gearing up to auction radio waves for the next generation mobile services, credit rating agency Fitch today said it is closely monitoring the impact of the cost for pan-India 3G licence on the revenues of Bharti Airtel.

The agency is currently monitoring the negative impact on Bharti's revenues stemming from the pending cost of 3G pan-India licence fees and its impact on its credit profile, Fitch said in a statement here today.

Fitch, however, said Bharti's acquisition of the Bangladesh operator Warid will not have an impact on the former's ratings. Bharti Airtel had acquired 70 per cent stake in Bangladesh's Warid Telecom for $300 million.

Fitch has a long-term rating of 'BBB-'with a stable outlook on Bharti, and notes that the incremental capex and Warid's existing debt will not materially impact Bharti's credit profile, Fitch said.
