Summary
Despite setbacks, India continues to be one of
the fastest growing major telecom markets in the
world. It is also one of the largest. Sweeping
reforms introduced by successive Indian
governments over the last decade have
dramatically changed the nature of
telecommunications in the country. By 2016 there
were positive signs of a healthier regulatory
environment taking shape. The government has been
continuing to push to complete the restructuring
of the telecommunications regulatory
regime.India's mobile market continues to get
the bulk of local capital expenditure as the
operators expand their infrastructure.

The mobile market continues to be the main focus
of the Indian telecom sector. India has a huge
national telecommunications network. The fixed
line market in India remains highly
underdeveloped due to the dominance of the mobile
segment. Further, the number of fixed telephone
lines is slowly declining as the mobile segment
continues to expand. Overall penetration dropped
from 2.1 in 2014 to 2.0 in 2015 and 1.9 in
2016.With fixed-line penetration falling below
3, the country has nevertheless achieved a
remarkable coverage, 99 of the population having
some form of access to a telephone. There has
been heavy investment in telecoms infrastructure
over the last decade to service the huge
population.

The government and the operators push forward on
a number of fronts to speed up the roll-out of
services to the wider population. Market leader
BSNL's market share has dropped significantly
over the past six years due to growing market
competition and the entry of new players in the
market such as Vodafone.In 2016 Vodafone signed
an agreement to acquire cable broadband provider
YOU Broadband for INR4 billion (USD59.9 million).
The acquisition is part of Vodafone's strategy of
increasing its presence in the fixed broadband
market. The takeover is expected to strengthen
its mobile data services.There has been a fresh
effort to promote broadband throughout the
country after a period in which broadband
development languished, and there is now hope for
a serious expansion phase in this segment of the
market.
