The telecom services have been recognized the world-over as an
important tool for socio-economic development for a nation. It is
one of the prime support services needed for rapid growth and

2. modernization of various sectors of the economy. Indian
telecommunication sector has undergone a major process of
transformation through significant policy reforms, particularly
beginning with the announcement of NTP 1994 and was
subsequently re-emphasized and carried forward under NTP
1999. Driven by various policy initiatives, the Indian telecom
sector witnessed a complete transformation in the last decade. It
has achieved a phenomenal growth during the last few years and
is poised to take a big leap in the future also.
The Indian Telecommunications network with 621 million

The sector is growing at a speed of 45% during the recent years.
This rapid growth is possible due to various proactive and
positive decisions of the Government and contribution of both
by the public and the private sectors. The rapid strides in the
telecom sector have been facilitated by liberal policies of the
Government that provides easy market access for telecom
equipment and a fair regulatory framework for offering telecom
services to the Indian consumers at affordable prices. Presently,
all the telecom services have been opened for private
