INDIAN ECONOMIC OVERVIEW

 

We are living in a world where volatility and uncertainty have become the New Normal. We saw a change of government in countries like Tunisia, Egypt, Libya and Vietnam. Once powerful countries in Europe are now fighting for bankruptcy. We have taken growth in the developing part of the world for granted but economic growth in China and India has begun to slow. Companies that were synonymous with their product categories just a few years ago are now no longer in existence. Kodak, the inventor of the digital camera had to wind up its operations, HMV, the British entertainment retailing company and Borders, once the second largest bookstore have shut down due to their inability to evolve their business models with the changing time. Readers’ Digest, Thomson Register are no more !

 

There is another megatrend happening. The World order is changing as economic power shifts from West to East. According to McKinsey study, it took Britain more than 100 years to double its economic output per person during its industrial revolution and the US later took more than 50 years to do the same. More than a century later, China and India have doubled their GDP per capital in 12 and 18 years respectively. By 2020, emerging Asia will become the world’s largest consuming block, overtaking North America.

 

The years after the outbreak of the global financial crisis, the world economy continues to remain fragile. The Indian economy demonstrated remarkable resilience in the initial years of the contagion but finally lost ground last year. GDP growth slowed down. Currency has been weakening. There is a marked deceleration in agriculture, industry and services. Dampening sentiment led to a cut-back in investment as well as private consumption expenditure.  Inflation remained at high levels fuelled by the pressure from the food and fuel sectors. The large fiscal and current account deficit s continued to cause grave concern. It is imperative that India regains its growth trajectory of 8-9 % sooner than later. This is crucially important given the need to create gainful livelihood opportunities for the millions living in poverty as also the large contingent of young people joining the job market every year.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS REPORT:

 

ECONOMY OVERVIEW:

 

Economic Survey 2010-11 had anticipated that the Indian economy would register a growth of around 9% in 2011-12, almost reverting the growth levels to the pre-crisis levels. However, during the course of the year it became increasingly clear that economy would fall short of that growth rate by a significant margin due to various international and national macroeconomic factors. This was indeed pointed out during the Mid-Year Analysis for the year 2011-12 which stated that the Indian economy was expected to register a growth rate of 7.5% during the year. However as per the Economic Survey 2011-12 and the advance estimate brought out by the CSO (Central Statistics Office) the growth rate of the Indian Economy had been 6.9% only during 2011-12. Also as per the latest survey, Telecom and IT services contributed approx. 3% to the country's GDP during the year.

 

INDUSTRY STRUCTURE AND DEVELOPMENT:

 

The Indian telecommunication industry is one of the fastest growing in the world. As per TRAI report, the number of telephone subscribers (fixed and mobile) in the country reached 951.34 million in March 2012 implying a teledensity of 78.66% registering a growth of 12.5% over the last year. Wireless subscribers have increased to 919.17 million by the end of March 2012, registering a growth of 13.25% over the same quarter of last year. Wireless teledensity stood at 76% with only 38% tele-density in rural area. The growth of broadband subscriber base in India has hitherto been below expectations. The broadband subscribers have grown from a meager 11.89 million as on March 2011 to about 13.79 million as on March 2012. The internet usage in India is also low by world standards. In 2012, the estimated number of internet subscribers is about 22.39 million apart from 431.37 million wireless subscribers who have subscribed to Data services. The dominant access technology is DSL accounting for 85.12% market share followed by Cable Modem at 5.75%. Fibre access share is still less being 0.23%.

 

During 2011, Department of Telecommunication also initiated the process of public consultation on draft telecom policy (NTP 2012). Subject actively participated in the process and submitted its views and recommendations to DoT on various aspects of the policy. The objective of the proposed NTP 2012 is to ensure that India plays the leadership role in the field of telecommunication and transforms the socioeconomic scenario through accelerated equitable and inclusive economic growth by providing affordable and quality telecommunication services in rural and remote areas. One of the key recommendation of draft NTP is to provide affordable and reliable broadband-on-demand services by the year 2015 and to achieve 175 million broadband connections by the year 2017 and 600 million by the year 2020 at minimum 2 Mbps download speed and making available higher speeds of at least 100 Mbps on demand.

 

The policy also recommends promoting indigenous R and D, IPR creation, and manufacturing of state-of-the-art telecom products and services to meet the Indian telecom sector demand to the extent of 60% and 80% with a minimum value addition of 45% and 65% by the year 2017 and 2020 respectively. In a major shift from the present licensing regime, the policy recommends to strive to create One Nation - One License across various services and service areas. In addition, NTP strives to achieve for One Nation - Full Mobile Number Portability and work towards One Nation - Free Roaming.
