INDIAN ECONOMIC OVERVIEW

 

India is developing into an open-market economy, yet traces of its past autarkic policies remain. Economic liberalization, including industrial deregulation, privatization of state-owned enterprises, and reduced controls on foreign trade and investment, began in the early 1990s and has served to accelerate the country's growth, which has averaged more than 7% per year since 1997. India's diverse economy encompasses traditional village farming, modern agriculture, handicrafts, a wide range of modern industries, and a multitude of services. Slightly more than half of the work force is in agriculture, but services are the major source of economic growth, accounting for more than half of India's output, with only one-third of its labor force. India has capitalized on its large educated English-speaking population to become a major exporter of information technology services and software workers. In 2010, the Indian economy rebounded robustly from the global financial crisis - in large part because of strong domestic demand - and growth exceeded 8% year-on-year in real terms. However, India's economic growth in 2011 slowed because of persistently high inflation and interest rates and little progress on economic reforms. High international crude prices have exacerbated the government's fuel subsidy expenditures contributing to a higher fiscal deficit, and a worsening current account deficit. Little economic reform took place in 2011 largely due to corruption scandals that have slowed legislative work. India's medium-term growth outlook is positive due to a young population and corresponding low dependency ratio, healthy savings and investment rates, and increasing integration into the global economy. India has many long-term challenges that it has not yet fully addressed, including widespread poverty, inadequate physical and social infrastructure, limited non-agricultural employment opportunities, scarce access to quality basic and higher education, and accommodating rural-to-urban migration.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND OPERATIONAL RESULTS:

 

INDUSTRY STRUCTURE AND DEVELOPMENTS:

 

GLOBAL INDUSTRY SCENARIO:

 

Research from Point Topic has revealed that broadband subscriptions have driven global IPTV usage to a record level of over 45 million users. The results presented by the Broadband Forum, showed that in all IPTV usage climbed by 34.6% in 2010 out of which in July, 2010 the half billion broadband lines mark was passed. The year ended with 523 million lines, a net addition of over 55 million lines. Matching this impressive growth was a commensurate uplift in IPTV subscribers to 45.4 million, with over 11.5 million new subscribers. The research also revealed that Q4 2010 was the strongest quarter for IPTV growth, with an 8% growth delivering 3.4 million additions. IPTV subscribers worldwide will reach 109 Mn. by 2014, rising at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of about 25% between 2011 to 2014, as telcos look for new revenue streams beyond data and voice services. With the developed and developing economies opting for FTTH (Fibre-To-The-Home) Technology as a viable broadband option, the Industry is set to grow with the regulators coming forward to foster the State owned telcos to switch to FTTH Technology.

 

IPTV / VOIP SERVICES SCENARIO:

 

Emergence of IPTV as a medium for TV viewing has provided consumers with more choice. IPTV services can be delivered by telecom service providers or Internet service providers.  The major benefit of switching to IPTV is to enjoy non – linear TV viewing and with Video on Demand (VoD) or even Time Shifted TV (TSTV), – the next gen way of consuming video entertainment/edutainment/infotainment at one’s own leisure. The user is also allowed to pause, fast forward or reverse at his/her convenience. This type of instant joy is available only through IPTV and this service has benefits for all – from consumers to service providers to content producers.

 

A jump in bandwidth usage along with fibre - to –home installations has been driving IPTV in India. The growth drivers of IPTV in India are growth in Broadband usage and aggressive Network expansion through Telecom Companies namely BSNL and MTNL. With the private telecom players also offering DTH and IPTV services, coupled with the demand of FTTH technology, need of high bandwidth by big corporate banks and Insurance Companies for data, audio and video conferencing would further fuel up the demand for IPTV networks.

 

The key driver of IPTV services is its cost effectiveness both at the time of installation and after sales service, coupled with the ability of the subscriber to optimally use the internet. Faster growth in IPTV is mostly driven by proliferation of Triple Play, improved DSL / fibre broadband capacity, accelerated install time, continued improvement in QoS / QoE and additional HD content. The Telco TV upgrades, all based on globally standardized IP protocol technology, are continually improving while costs are dropping or remaining stable, allowing further investments.

 

IPTV has started to gain a foothold in several small or emerging markets and has begun to win customers, albeit at a slow pace. It is reported that amongst all the IPTV markets, Asia –Pacific region is slated to be the second largest IPTV Market in the world. It is also reported that in the next 4 years IPTV would grow at a CAGR of 26%. VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) or Internet telephony is a low cost voice communication technology, using prevailing internet protocol. The Company has launched its VoIP services by the brand name ‘Pigeon’ in collaboration with MTNL, using the existing broadband network of MTNL in the cities of Delhi and Mumbai.
