WHITE PAPER ON TELECOM INDUSTRY IN INDIA

Abstract:- About Telecom Sector in India:India is the world’s second-largest telecommunications market. The telecom

infrastructure in India is expected to increase at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 20 % during the period 2008–2015 to reach 571,000 towers in 2015.

The telecommunications industry attracted foreign direct investments (FDI) worth US$ 12,889 million in the period April 2000–September 2013, according to data published by Department of Industrial Policy and Promotion (DIPP).

The country’s GSM operators added 1.66 million rural subscribers in October, taking their overall user base to 274.32 million, according to data released by the Cellular Operators’ Association of India (COAI). The telecom companies are looking at rural India to add users and revenues.

Market Dynamics:

India could emerge as a low-cost hub for testing security-sensitive IT products used in telephone and other critical infrastructure networks, with the country being recently given the 'authorizing member nation' status in the Common Criteria Recognition Arrangement (CCRA). Laboratories in India could offer testing services at much lower costs compared to other CCRA labs in Western markets, highlighted Mr. Rajan Mathews, Director General, and COAI – the industry body representing GSM operators.

India has over 50 % mobile-only internet users, possibly the world’s highest compared to 20–25 % across developed countries, according to Avendus Capital. More so, gaining impetus from the increasing penetration of smartphones and a whole host of mobile-only content, the Indian mobile advertising market is estimated to reach Rs. 2,800 crore (US$ 457.52 million) by 2016 from the current Rs. 180 crore (US$ 29.41 million).

Increasing demand for smart phones and availability of high speed networks, such as 3G and 4G services, has resulted in the rapid growth of the Indian market, besides offering immense opportunities to players involved in the business. The RNCOS’ research study, ‘Indian Mobile Gaming Market Forecast to 2017’ estimated the market to reach Rest. 18.5 billion (US$ 302.28 million) in 2017 and grow at a CAGR of nearly 24 % during the period 2013–2017.

Key Developments & Investments:

•Vodafone India, the local arm of UK's Vodafone Group Plc., plans to spend around Rest. 7,000 crore (US$ 1.14 billion) in the country, in addition to its annual capex of Rs. 5,000 crore (US$ 817 million) over the next few years, to expand its data network and coverage, said Mr Marten Pieters, CEO, Managing Director, Vodafone India.•ZTE Corp is targeting US$ 800 million revenue from India next year.

Government Initiatives

An empowered group of ministers (EGoM) has cleared the mergers and acquisitions (M&A) guidelines for the telecommunication sector, in order to encourage consolidation in the sector.

The Telecom Commission has ratified the Rs. 5,000 crore (US$ 817 million) government proposal to give



.

away 2.5 crore mobile handsets at subsidized prices.The telecom tower provider industry has been granted the 'infrastructure' status, a move that will make

tower providers eligible for viability gap funding, higher limit on external commercial borrowings (ECBs), lower import duties and exemptions on excise duty on telecom infrastructure equipment.

The Government of India's decision to allow 100 % foreign direct investment (FDI) in telecommunication sector will enable foreign telecommunication companies to buy out their Indian partners. At present, India permits up to 74 % FDI in the sector – 49 % through the automatic route and the rest after Foreign Investment Promotion Board (FIPB) approval.

The Government intends to make India a teleport hub, enabling it to become an up-linking/down-linking center. The initiative is expected to facilitate foreign investments, better technology and sustainable employment opportunities in the country. The Government has recently given its nod to 74 % of FDI in DTH, IPTV, and mobile TV.

According to the new guidelines issued by the DoT, foreign entities can participate in the 2G auctions directly and obtain a license. The initiative is expected to make the upcoming auctions more attractive to certain foreign players such as Telenor, which wanted to bid directly without an Indian partner in the auctions. There will be a lock-in period of three years.

The Future outlook:

The DoT will encourage telecom service providers to share their infrastructure, according to Mr. M F Farooqui, Telecomm Secretary, and Government of India. The telecom industry and the Government need to work together to attract investments and exploit advances in technology. With the success in voice-connectivity being carried forward to data and emerging technologies including cloud computing, the government is targeting broadband connectivity from 15 million currently to over 600 million in 2020.

On the back of the ongoing investments into infrastructure, the country is projected to witness high penetration of internet, broadband, and mobile subscribers in the near future. Various policy initiatives by the Indian government have led to a complete transformation of the industry in the last decade. It has achieved a phenomenal growth during the last few years and is poised to grow further.
