 TELECOM INDUSTRY IN INDIA
 
 AN OVERVIEW
 
 Telecommunications is pivotal to a country''s socio-economic growth. It
 is one of the main architects of the accelerated growth and progress of
 different segments of the economy.  Narrowing access gaps and removing
 barriers to information dissemination are prerequisites for promoting
 equitable and sustainable development as well as political and social
 cohesion. Increasing connectivity is highly instrumental in improving
 governance, business communications, security, response to emergencies
 and in the overall strengthening of the socio cultural ethos of the
 country. The advantages of the advent of telecommunications are
 manifold and explicitly verifiable from the phenomenal success of the
 sector.
 
 The Indian telecommunications industry is one of the fastest growing in
 the world. The industry has witnessed consistent growth during the last
 year on the back of rollout of newer circles by operators, successful
 auction of third-generation (3G) and broadband wireless access (BWA)
 spectrum, network rollout in semi-rural areas and increased focus on
 the value added services (VAS) market.
 
 According to the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI), the
 number of telephone subscriber base in the country reached 846.32
 million as on March 31, 2011, an increase of 20.07 million subscribers.
 The wireless subscriber base has increased to 811.59 million at the end
 of March 2011.There are 564.08 million urban subscribers and rural are
 283.23 million subscribers taking tele density to 70.89% and wireless
 tele density is 67.98%. Approximately 65 lakhs subscribers showed their
 interest in Mobile Number Portability. Revenues of the Indian Telecom
 sector grew by 7% to Rs. 283,207 crore (US$ 63.8 million) in the 2011
 financial year. During the previous fiscal year total revenue of the
 sector stood at Rs. 264,669 crore.
 
 Revenue from various services in the Indian Telecom Industry grew to
 Rs. 166,168 crore, up 14.9 per cent, in 2010-11 fiscal year as against
 Rs. 144,600 crore in the previous financial year. The growth was purely
 driven by growth in subscriber base for various services. The maximum
 revenue in the service sector of the industry came from the cellular
 services market which grew by 16.6 % to Rs. 102,230 crore in financial
 year 2011 from Rs.87680 crores in the previous fiscal year. Revenues
 from fixed line continued to decline both in terms of number of
 connections and revenues.
 
 The booming domestic telecom market has been attracting huge amounts of
 investment which is likely to accelerate with the entry of new players
 and launch of new services. According to the Department of Industrial
 Policy and Promotion (DIPP), the telecommunications sector includes
 radio paging, mobile services and basic telephone services. As per an
 industry report the telecom industry witnessed merger and acquisition
 (M&A) deals. There were 10 inbound, outbound and domestic M&A deals in
 the telecom sector during the first nine months of the current fiscal
 year. The biggest M&A deal in the sector was made by telecommunications
 service provider through the acquisition of mobile services operations
 in 15 countries. The deal involved a transaction of US$ 10.7 billion.
 
 The Indian telecom industry manufactures a vast range of telecom
 equipment using state-of-the-art technology.
 
 The exponential growth witnessed by the telecom sector in the past
 decade has led to the development of .the telecom equipment
 manufacturing industries and other supporting industries. With advent
 of next generation technologies and operators looking to roll out 3G
 and broad band wireless excess service, the demand for the telecom
 equipment is set to increase gigantically in the times to come.
 
 Telecom as a service industry alone could not continue to contribute to
 the country''s GDP at the current level. The economy can grow only when
 the manufacturing industry grows.  The focus has been shifted from
 import-centric industry to global telecom equipment manufacturing
 hub. The imports are declining and now India is fourth telecom equipment
 manufacturer in the Asia Pacific region. It is a very heartening and
 healthy trend that many Multinational Companies have set up domestic
 manufacturing facilities like Huawei, NSN, Alcatel Lucent and Zte. The
 Country is not only emerging as a manufacturing hub but is also
 planning to increase its telecom exports each year.
 
 EXPORTS
 
 Your Company is exporting Telecommunication products and systems to
 various countries worldwide.
 
 The Export revenue is growing on yearly basis. In the recent past the
 company has completed some major In-building projects in different
 countries. The Company has taken Turnkey Projects worldwide, which
 include the survey, planning, installation, commissioning etc. We have
 appointed more than 50 Agents/ Distributors/ Value Added Resellers
 worldwide. In the recent past we have been short listed as a preferred
 supplier for many operators in Europe, Africa, Latin America, etc.
 
 The product was approved and the company has got the big order by one
 of the biggest operator in USA i.e. Verizon Wireless.
 
 We are planning to open few new offices in different strategic
 locations from where we can cover areas of our expecting business.
 
 FOREIGN DIRECT INVESTMENT
 
 The liberalization on the Foreign Direct Investment front has
 stimulated the telecom sector growth as FDI in telecom projects is
 allowed from 74% to 100%. In case of telecom operators, FDI is allowed
 upto 74% and 26% has to be the Indian shareholding.  FDI upto 49% is on
 the Automatic Route and beyond that on the government Route. The
 telecom operators had invested huge money on telecom infrastructure
 over the past few years in expanding their network more than 90%
 throughout the country.
 
 Telecom is considered to be highly potential for investments and
 upcoming industries.
 
 FUTURE IN TELECOM
 
 Telecom growth story will be a function of the enhanced demand for high
 speed broadband and data services from both enterprises and consumers.
 The growth in the India domestic mobile handsets market will be fueled
 by a more than 150% increment in the value of feature phones and
 smart phones shipped, from Rs.50,714 crore in 2010 to Rs.1,28,729 crore
 in 20l4.lt is also said that the India Telecom services sector may see
 policy changes that could result in market consolidation over the next
 few years.
 
 The major growth drivers for the telecom services sector segments would
 be the launch and roll-out of 3G and BWA/ WiMax /LTE services and the
 consequent growth in usage of high speed broad band, VAS and data
 services. Establishment of 3G and BWA (WIMAX and long evaluation LTE)
 will have a positive impact on the India Market; however, broad band
 content will remain in early stages of development through 2011, CMR.
 In terms of broadband content, 2011 & 2012 will witness early stages of
 development. However, as WiMax / LTE services gain in popularity,
 content creation and mobile application development will witness
 increased focus by vendors, developers and service providers looking to
 build their own portfolio of unique ''apps''. Also, mobiles handsets will
 witness a high growth rate of 26.2 percent CAGR over the period 2010-
 2014 to touch Rs.1,28,729 Crore in 2014.  Smartphone market to grow to
 over lOmn units in 2011- 2012. The Smartphones market in India is
 expected to grow year by year. The Android Operating System will
 continue to gain acceptance as a mode operating system (OS) and 12
 percent of all smartphones shipped in India during 2011 are expected to
 be based on the Android platform.
