Contribution Of Telecome To Aggregate OutputAbhinav Goyal
Telecom infrastructure has contributed significantly to India's aggregate output growth over several phases of development and policy reforms since 1994. Reforms led to independent regulation, increased competition and investment, resulting in exponential growth from negligible to significant levels. The mobile revolution and latest technologies like 3G and 4G have increased tele-density and benefited consumers through reduced prices and improved access. However, further infrastructure investment and innovative business models are still needed to achieve full potential, especially in rural areas.

Birla’s and Vodafone.

ensure that its reliance on GSM technology does
not render it obsolete.
• Indian market inspite of being the worlds largest
is still not matured. Opportunities abound in the
hinterland which must be exploited.
