Summary
As Indias telecom market recovers from its
recent turmoil, it looks towards a fresh period
of growth Growth in Indias huge mobile market
had effectively stalled in 2012 and the market
was looking very subdued coming into 2013.
However, by early 2014 there were positive signs
of a recovering market, following some major
adjustments. There was also evidence that some
serious restructuring was taking place. Back in
2010/2011, mobile operators in India added around
370 million new subscribers to their networks, an
average of 15 million per month over the two
years, to bring the total number of subscribers
to around 900 million by the start of 2012.
However, in the twelve months that followed we
saw some erratic behaviour of the subscriber base
and by the year end there were just 865 million
subscribers. The drop in subscriber numbers was a
combination of falling customer demand and the
effect of operators cleaning out their data
bases.

Despite the big drop in mobile subscribers the
key drivers were considered to still in place
the mobile market was continuing to be driven by
cheap call rates, low handset prices and rising
incomes among the hundreds of millions of the
population that are described as the countrys
middle class. While offering some of the lowest
mobile tariffs in the world, Indias market had
also been running for many years with one of the
highest usage rates in the world with the average
customer using around 500 minutes per month.
(This had dropped to around 350 by 2013.)
Additionally, the operators were continuing their
push into the rural and remote parts of the
country.One of the reasons for the operators
culling their databases was to lift Average
Revenue Per User (ARPU). Mobile ARPU in India had
been steadily declining over the years as
competing operators offered cheaper tariffs at
the same time usage levels have remained
reasonably high thus slowing the decline in
revenues.
