TELECOM SECTOR: A GLOBAL SCENARIO


The Indian telecom market has been displaying sustained high growth rates. Riding on expectations of overall high economic growth and consequent rising income levels, it offers an unprecedented opportunity for foreign investment. A combination of factors is driving growth in the telecom market, promising rich returns on investments.


 India is the fourth largest telecom market in
Asia after China, Japan and South Korea.


 The Indian telecom network is the eighth largest in the world and the second largest among emerging economies.


 The Indian telecom market size of over US $ 8 billion is expected to increase three fold by 2012.

The expansion of the telecom industry in India has been fuelled by a massive growth in mobile phone users, which has reached a level of 10 million users in December 2002, an increase of nearly 100 per cent in 2002.


 This exponential growth of mobile telephony can be attributed to the introduction of digital cellular technology and decrease in tariffs due to competitive pressures.


For the first time in India, the growth of cellular subscriber base has exceeded the fixed line subscriber base.

However, cellular penetration is still 1 per cent as compared to world average of around 16 per cent.
