Summary

• Indias 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.

Mobile Market

• Over the past decade Indias mobile sector
  has developed a sustained momentum, aided by
  higher subscriber volumes, lower tariffs and
  falling handset prices. There had been a major
  push to take mobile services into the poorer and
  rural areas of the country, a move that
  inevitably weighed down on ARPU.

• Indias mobile market dominates the local
  telecom sector with its large subscriber base and
  revenue numbers, as well as the huge capital
  investment by operators. It has continued to be a
  highly competitive market in which a number of
  major players together with a larger number of
  smaller players have been battling to increase
  market share.Mobile broadband penetration has
  grown strongly in India over the past few years
  driven by a strong and growing mobile subscriber
  base. Further strong growth is predicted over the
  next year to 2017. Mobile broadband is set to
  grow exponentially throughout India, driving
  digital inclusion and economic growth for Indias
  consumers and businesses.

Fixed Broadband and Digital Economy

• Despite a booming internet market across the
  country, Indias move into high-speed broadband
  internet access has been distinctly sluggish.
  When it came to high-speed broadband access, for
  long time there was a reluctance to adopt what
  was on offer, especially within the corporate
  sector, and the growth of broadband remained
  relatively slow for some time.

• Indias fixed broadband market remains
  underdeveloped in India, mainly due to the
  dominance of the mobile platform and an
  unwillingness by operators to invest in fixed
  broadband infrastructure. Between 2011 and 2015,
  fixed broadband penetration increased only
  marginall. During 2015/16 the market grew by
  nearly 10 reaching. Moderate growth is predicted
  for the next five years to 2021.
• By 2016 India was making good progress on the
  government-mandated digitization program. There
  are already rapidly expanding digital segments in
  the TV market, notably IPTV/Broadband TV and with
  some digitalization of the traditional platforms
  proceeding at a good pace.
