TELECOM SUBSCRIBER BASE IN INDIA
Indian telecommunication Industry is one of the fastest growing telecom market
in the world. The mobile sector has grown from around 10 million subscribers in
2002 to reach 150 million by early 2007 registering an average growth of over
90%. The two major reasons that have fuelled this growth are low tariffs coupled
with falling handset prices.
Surprisingly, CDMA market has increased it market share up to 30% thanks to
Reliance Communication. However, across the globe, CDMA has been losing out
numbers to popular GSM technology, contrary to the scenario in India.
The other reason that has tremendously helped the telecom Industry is the
regulatory changes and reforms that have been pushed for last 10 years by
successive Indian governments. According to Telecom Regulatory Authority of
India (TRAI) the rate of market expansion would increase with further regulatory
and structural reforms. Even though the fixed line market share has been
dropping consistently, the overall (fixed and mobile) subscribers have risen to
more than 200 million by first quarter of 2007. The telecom reforms have
allowed the foreign telecommunication companies to enter Indian market which
has still got huge potential. International telecom companies like Vodafone have
made entry into Indian market in a big way.
Currently the Indian Telecommunication market is valued at around $100 billion
(Rupees 400,000 crore). Two telecom players dominate this market - Bharti Airtel
with 27% market share and Reliance Communication with 20% along with other
players like BSNL (Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited).
The Ministry of Communications and Information Technology (MCIT) is has very
aggressive plans to increase the pace of growth, targeting 500 million telephone
subscribers by the end of 2010.

FINDINGS
74% of the people believes that advertisements play a role while making
purchase decision for new connection. So the companies should handle the
advertising properly and should try to deliver the information properly.
In telecom industry the most important factor which affects the purchase
decision of the customers is advertisement. Suggestions of friends and
relatives also plays major role in this. So the companies should take care of
the existing customers so that they can be recommended to others.
55% of the people likes to watch advertisements on television. And after
television people rated newspapers. So the companies should focus more
on television ads and newspaper ads.
32% of the people like Vodafone advertisements more than others. After
that Airtel and Idea comes. So the other companies should try to make
advertisements which can connect to the customers.
74% of the people believe that advertisements provide information about
the products. So the companies should try to deliver all the information
about the plans and offers through advertisements.
Majority of the people wants to buy the connections for family and friends
on the basis of advertisements. So advertisements should be given more
focus and importance by the telecom companies.
KOUSTUV BUSINESS SCHOOL 34 | P a g e
SUGGESTIONS
Information may be communicated to the customers regularly for better
feedback from customers.
The Companies may focus more on Television ads & Newspapers ads to
increase the effectiveness of the ads.
The Advertisements can provide all the relevant information to the
customers which are necessary for them.
The Companies may focus on rural areas while designing advertisement
campaign.
