COMMUNICATION

The Indian telecommunications Network is the fifth largest in the world and is the second largest among the emerging economies of Asia.



Today it is the fastest growing market in the world. Private operators have made mobile telephony the fastest growing (over 164% p.a.) in India.


With more than 33 million users (both CDMA and GSM), wireless is the principal growth engine of the Indian telecom industry. Intense competition between the four main private groups - Bharti, Hutch, Tata and Reliance and with the State sector incumbents-BSNL and MTNL has brought about a significant drop in tariffs.


The Government has played a key enabling role by deregulating and liberalising the industry, ushering in competition and paving the way for growth.
