INTRODUCTION OF TOPIC
After the globalization of India economy in 1991 the telecommunication sector remained one of the
most happening sectors in India. The recent years witnesses rapid and dramatic changes in the field
of telecommunications. In the last few years more and more companies both foreign, domestic, come
into cellular service, service market and offers large number of services to the people.
A consumer may be referred to anyone engaged in evaluating, acquiring, using or disposing of
services which he expects will satisfy his wants. If any producer makes out the marketing programmer
ignoring the consumer preferences, he cannot possibly achieve his ultimate objectives. A
manufacturer must plan his production and distribution to suit the consumer’s convenience rather than
his own. Therefore a marketer must know more and more about the consumers, so that the products
can be produced in such a fashion to give satisfaction to them.
In the year of 1989, the number of cell phone users in India was zero. In the year 1999, the number of
cell phone users has gone up by 13 lakh. In the year 2000, the number of cell phone users has risenby
one million. Indian telecom sector added a staggering 227.27millionwireless mobile users in the 12
months between March 2010 and March2011, while the overall tele density has increasedto 81.82%
as of 30 November
2015, and the total numbers of telephone phone users (mobile & landline) have reached 1009.46
million as of May, 2015. Now currently telephone subscriber (mobile & landline) is 1058.01
million (May 2016).
The company is reconfiguring to meet the growing demand for mobile services. It will differentiate
our mobile services from our competitors through ongoing investment in technology, distribution and
customer services, providing both a great customer experience and competitive value.
The company has updated itsretail footprint to a new RelianceJIO concept delivering a differentiated
customer experience. A core part of our promise to customers is to ensure that their technical experts

in store transfer all their personal data to their new LYF phone allowing them to walk out of the store
with their phone fully functional. Extensive trials of the new concept store across all markets have
shown significant increases in both sales and customer satisfaction. The new concept will be rolled
out globally over the next upcoming years.
INDUSTRY PROFILE
India has a fast-growing mobile services market with excellent potential for the future. With almost five
million subscribers amassed in less than two years of operation, India's growth tempo has far exceeded that of
numerous other markets, such as China and Thailand, which have taken more than five years to reach the
figures India currently holds. The number of mobile phone subscribers in the country would exceed 50 million
by 2010 and cross 300 million by 2016, according to Cellular Operators Association of India (COAI).
According to recent strategic research by Frost & Sullivan, Indian Cellular Services Market, such growth rates
can be greatly attributed to the drastically falling price of mobile handsets, with price playing a fundamental
role in Indian subscriber requirements. Subscribers in certain regions can acquire the handset at almost no
cost, thanks to the mass-market stage these technologies have reached internationally. The Indian consumer
can buy a handset for $150 or less. This should lead to increased subscribership. This market is growing at an
extremely fast pace and so is the competition between the mobile service providers.
With the presence of a number of mobile telephony services providers including market leaders like Airtel,
Reliance, Idea Cellular, BSNL etc. who are providing either of the two network technologies such as Global
System for Mobile Communications (GSM) and Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA). In cellular service
there are two main competing network technologies: Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM) and
Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA). Understanding the difference between GSM and CDMA will allow
the user to choose the preferable network technology for his needs.
Global System for Mobile Communication (GSM) is a new digital technology developed by the European
community to create a common mobile standard around the world. It helps you achieve higher sell capacity
and better speech quality and one can enjoy crystal clear reception on ones mobile phone. It automatically
solves the problem of eavesdropping on ones calls.
Before analyzing the telecom licensing framework in India, it is imperative that one must examine what is a
license. License issued by the government is an authority, given to a person upon certain conditions to do
something which would have been illegal or wrongful otherwise. For example, a driver’s license issued by the
government, gives the authority to a person to drive a motor vehicle. There are three main types of license fee

Page | 4
which the government charges: (I) initial license fee, which generally is non-refundable, (ii) annual license
fee, and (iii) additional fee for allocation of spectrum.
Licensing framework has been an integral part of India’s telecommunication law. Under the Indian Telegraph
Act, 1885, section 4 gives power to the government to grant license to any person to establish, maintain or use
a telegraph.
Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) describes a communication channel access principle that employs
spread spectrum technology and a special coding scheme (where each transmitter is assigned a code). It is a
spread spectrum signaling, since the modulated coded signal has a much higher bandwidth than the data being
communicated. CDMA is the current name for mobile technology and is characterized by high capacity and
small cell radius. It has been used in many communication and navigation systems, including the Global
Positioning System and the omnitracs satellite system for transportation logistics.
Indian mobile telephony market is increasing day by day and there is more to happen with technological up
gradations occurring nearly every day and the ever-increasing demand for easier and faster connectivity, the
mobile telephony market is expected to race ahead.

NATIONAL TELECOM POLICY 1994 (NTP 1994)
The National Telecom Policy was announced in 1994 which aimed at improving India's competitiveness in
the global market and provides a base for a rapid growth in exports. This policy eventually facilitated the
emergence of Internet services in India on the back of established basic telephony communication network.
This policy also paved way for the entry of the private sector in telephone services. The main objectives of
the policy were:
 To ensure telecommunication is within the reach of all, that is, to ensure availability of telephone on
demand as early as possible
 To achieve universal service covering all villages, that is, enable all people to access certain basic
telecom services at affordable and reasonable prices
 To ensure world-class telecom services. Remove consumer complaints, resolve disputes and encourage
public interface and provide a wide permissible range of services to meet the demand at reasonable
prices
 To ensure that India emerges as a major manufacturing base and major exporter of telecom equipment
 To protect the defense and security interests of the nation.
The policy also announced a series of specific targets to be achieved by 1997 and further recognized that
to achieve these targets the private sector association and investment would be required to bridge the
resource gap.
Thus, to meet the telecom needs of the nation and to achieve international comparable standards, the sector
for manufacture of telecom equipment had been progressively relicensed and the sub-sector for value-
added services was opened up to private investment (July 1992) for electronic mail, voice mail, data
services, audio text services, video text services, video conferencing, radio paging and cellular mobile
telephone. The private sector participation in the sector was carried out in a phased manner. Initially the
private sector was allowed in the value added services, and thereafter, it was allowed in the fixed telephone
services. Subsequently, VSAT services were liberalized for private sector participation to provide data
services to closed user groups.

Establishment of TRAI
The entry of private players necessitated independent regulation in the sector; therefore, the TRAI was
established in 1997 to regulate telecom services, for fixation/revision of tariffs, and also to fulfill the
commitments made when India joined the World Trade Organization (WTO) in 1995. The establishment of
TRAI was a positive step as it separated the regulatory function from policy-making and operation, which
continued to be under the purview of the DoT2. The functions allotted to the TRAI included: a. To recommend
the need and timing for introduction of new service provider b. To protect the interest of customers of telecom
services c. To settle disputes between service providers d. To recommend the terms and conditions of license
to a service provider e. To render advice to the Central government on matters relating to the development of
telecommunication technology and any other matter applicable to the telecommunication industry in general.
NEW TELECOM POLICY 1999 (NTP 1999)
In recognition of the fact that the entry of the private sector, which was envisaged during NTP-94, was not
satisfactory and in response to the concerns of the private operators and investors about the viability of their
business due to non realization of targeted revenues the government decided to come up with a new telecom
policy. The most important milestone and instrument of telecom reforms in India is the New Telecom Policy
1999 (NTP 99). The New Telecom Policy, 1999 (NTP-99) was approved on 26th March 1999, to become
effective from 1st April 1999.Moreover, convergence of both markets and technologies required realignment
of the industry. To achieve India’s vision of becoming an IT superpower along with developing a world class
telecom infrastructure in the country, there was a need to develop a new telecom policy framework.
Accordingly, the NTP 1999 was framed with the following objectives and targets:
 Availability of affordable and effective communication for citizens was at the core of the vision and
goal of the new telecom policy

Page | 7
 Provide a balance between provision of universal service to all uncovered areas, including rural areas,
and the provision of high-level services capable of meeting the needs of the economy
 Encourage development of telecommunication facilities in remote, hilly and tribal areas of the nation
 To facilitate India’s journey to becoming an IT superpower by creating a modern and efficient
telecommunication infrastructure taking into account the convergence of IT, media, telecom and
consumer electronics
 Convert PCOs, wherever justified, into public telephone information centers having multimedia
capability such as ISDN services, remote database access, government and community information
systems etc.
 To bring about a competitive environment in both urban and rural areas by providing equal
opportunities and level playing field for all players
 Providing a thrust to build world-class manufacturing capabilities and also strengthen research and
development efforts in the country
 Achieve efficiency and transparency in spectrum management
 Protect the defense and security interests of the country
 Enable Indian telecom companies to become global players.
In line with the above objectives, some of the specific targets of the NTP 1999 were:
 Make available, telephone on demand by 2002 and achieve a tele density of 7% by 2005 and 15% by
2010
 Encourage development of telecom in rural areas by developing a suitable tariff structure so that it
becomes more affordable and by also making rural communication mandatory for all fixed service
players and thus
o Achieve a rural tele density of 4% by 2010 and provide reliable transmission media in all rural
areas.
Players in the market
 BSNL is the market leader with a 67.7 per cent share followed by MTNL with 11.5 per cent market
share. Next is Bharti Airtel at 10.9% followed by Tata and Reliance at 5% and 4.1% respectively.
 BSNL as a company is growing and showed annual revenues of approximately $4.5 billion as of 2014.
BSNL is serving more than 125 million customers across the country and is catalyst in checking the
price point for telecom services.

Page | 8
 Also, with the government intensifying its rural focus, only BSNL can turn into reality the next wave
of rural telecom penetration.
 BSNL is a 100% Central Government entity and employees with BSNL are entitled to get salaries and
perks as decided by Government of India and not by BSNL
 However both, MTNL and BSNL are plagued by declining revenues coupled with high costs. BSNL
has massive infrastructure, manpower, systems, and 80 per cent of landlines and 90 per cent of
broadband connections in India are operated by it.
 “Vodafone is investing nearly US$ 3 billion over the next two years in India in expanding its network
infrastructure and distribution channel in the country,” as per Vittorio Colao, CEO, Vodafone Plc.
 BlackBerry plans to set up enterprise solutions centres to educate corporate customers about various
BlackBerry Enterprise Service (BES) 10 solutions. "India is one of the fastest growing markets in
terms of smartphone and mobile data adoption,” said according to Sunil Lalvani, Managing Director
(MD), BlackBerry India.
 Tata Teleservices plans to set up nearly 4,000 wi-fi hotspots in nine cities across the country in the
next two years.
 Bharti Airtel will buy Telenor's India operations in seven circles to receive 43.5 megahertz (MHz)
spectrum in the 1800 MHz band
 Chinese smartphone manufacturers, Oppo and Vivo, have both planned to invest in setting up large
scale manufacturing capacity in the state of Uttar Pradesh in India, with an aggregate investment size
of Rs 4,000 crore (US$ 600 million).
Booming sectors
 The tide has turned for the telecom sector in India, as growth and profitability has accelerated in recent
times. Tower companies are reaping benefits of a turnaround in the sector as operators have started
investing in networks to boost data penetration.
 However it is in the country’s booming mobile segment in which the major battles are being fought.
Three major private players – Bharti airtel, Reliance and Vodafone - with a formidable 54% share of
the market between them, lead a large field of mobile operators. State-owned enterprises –BSNL and
MTNL – have also been making their presence felt with a combined market share of 12%.

LITERATURE REVIEW

Abstract
The launch of Jio is likely to transform the Indian telecom sector but at the same time put pressure on multiple
fronts on the current telecom operator such as Bharti Airtel, Idea & Vodafone. The entrance of the jio has
brought a stormy revolution in the Telecom market and Jio has emerged into a brand new world of innovations
and up gradation. This article discusses the features of the jio and the edge it would have over its rivals once
operational. The objective of this research paper is to find whether the company will become a Star or will
remain a question mark.
Review of Literature
Jio is the telecommunication company owned by Reliance Ltd. It emerges one of the fastest growing telecom
operator in India as data published in a review of literature Jai Bhatia Economic & Political Weekly
OCTOBER 8, 2016 vol lI no 41. Jio came up with a vision to generate huge revenue by providing quality
service at a cheaper rate using the latest technology. Initially, its growth is high. In the Indian market, it is the
first mover advantage for Jio with a biggest 4G network coverage infrastructure all across 22 telecom circles
in India. None of its competitors is having such biggest infrastructure for 4G infrastructure.
As we saw in the year 2012-13, India is 150th in the world in mobile broadband penetration as well as quality.
And Jio has really been conceived to change this position," the Indian billionaire said.
Jai Bhatia, Advait Rao Palepu in their paper Reliance, Predatory pricing or predatory behavior
(OCTOBER 8, 2016) says that Jio can also be understood by Predatory Pricing Strategy to some extent In the
beginning, Jio is also followed the same strategy which made their competitors think about their pricing
process they all have tried to reduce and match with the pricing level of Jio price.
According to the data published by www.paulasset.com, reliance Jio is good for Indian market because it is
giving best quality on lower price. The data also explains that presently Jio’s data traffic is higher (TRAI
Data) compared to its competitors. Jio is also threatening “As it is expected that it will kill more than 30
businesses within next 5 to 10 years”, According to poulasset. Jio will acquire and will hold a major number
of market shares in the following areas.
Mobile (Local/STD + SMS), MOBILE DATA (3G/4G), CABLE TV/ D2H, MAGAZINE/NEWSPAPERS,
CLOUD STORAGE, MOVIE DOWNLOAD/ WATCHING, NEWS READING APPS, MOBILE WALLETS
/ QUICK PAY & OTHERS

Jio has already started giving substitution for the above at one place, i.e. Jio TV, Jio Music, Jio Wallet, Jio
Drive Etc
According to information published by gadget.ndtv.com It is very difficult to compete with Jio as they
have invested 150,000 Crores rupee during 2010 to 2016 for developing the infrastructure without having any
profit. It is not easy to build such big sector in India in one go because it requires a huge amount and long
period of time. Reliance is always ready to deal with any such startup which can threaten Jio. Existing
competitors like Airtel, Vodafone is already suffering from a huge debt so it’s not easy for them to invest that
much huge amount in a short period of time.
Nearly 25 million cellphones are using Jio Sim even before its commercial launch! Reliance Jio is making
headlines with its easy on pocket data packs and lifetime free calling. Never in the history of telecom has
anybody witnessed a player seize the market in a week’s time by distributing Sim cards with the unlimited
free internet.
According to an article published in the myvoice.opindia.com Analysts doubt the strategy of Reliance by
siting that with its schemes. Jio will attract low-quality customers who will jump to other networks once the
freebies end. But Reliance doesn’t believe so. It is offering free 4G data which means it’ll occupy the primary
Sim slot in the smartphones 4G phones. Also, customers will switch to Jio from their broadband or the Wi-Fi
services and possibly will stick to it even after the promotion period ends. In addition to that, it is offering free
calling, so it is aware people will be using the number for calling purposes for the next three months. Three
months is a sufficient time span for people to experience the super-fast speed and the quality services and
permanently transfer to the network. Now assume that Jio reaches 75% of its planned subscriber base of 100
million. So by the end of the year, Reliance ends up with 75 million subscriber base. India’s total 4G user
number is believed to touch the mark of 143 million by this year end. So within 3 months of its official launch,
Jio would have acquired more than 50% of the market share. Even if many subscribers leave the service o f
Jio, still Reliance would be left with significant market share.
The analytical data shows that it has captured maximum no. of the market shares within the shortest period of
time. It can also be concluded that the people who are having the Jio service at present, among them 70 to 80
% of the users are happy with its service. This number is higher in the rural areas and lesser in the urban areas.
By the end of 2017, it is expected that there will be 30 to 40 crore subscribers or more than that. The free app
which is given today will be no longer be free, later on, the consumer will be spending around 6 to 10 thousand
in a year. It will generate huge revenue. "By 2017 end, we would cover 90% and by 2018, all of India will be
covered by this digital infrastructure," Ambani said.

According to Times Of India (Feb 22, 2016,) As we saw in the year 2012-13, India is 150th in the world in
mobile broadband penetration as well as quality. And Jio has really been conceived to change this position,"
the Indian billionaire said.
INTRODUCTION TO THE PROBLEM
Even though the sector has reflected promising growth, the tele density in India still remains at a very low
level compared with international standards and thus providing tremendous opportunity for future growth. In
the medium-term, the industry is expected to continue to record good subscriber growth as a result of low
penetration levels, heightened competition; a sustained fall in minimum subscription cost and tariff that
increase affordability for lower-income rural users, expansion of coverage area by mobile operators, and
government support through schemes such as the rural infrastructure roll out funded by subsidies from the
Universal Service Obligation (USO) Fund. The Indian telecom sector offers unprecedented opportunities in
various areas, such as rural telephony, 4G, virtual private network, value-added services, etc. Nonetheless, the
lack of telecom infrastructure in rural areas and falling ARPU of telecom service providers could inhibit the
future growth of the industry
Rapidly Falling ARPU (Average revenue per user) The competitive intensity in the telecom industry in India
is one of the highest in the world and has lead to sustained fall in realisation for the service providers. Intense
competitive pressure and cut throat pricing has resulted in declining ARPUs. With increasing number of new
entrants in the telecom space the competitive intensity is likely to continue, putting further downward
pressures on the telecom tariffs. Thus, the telecom companies might have to grapple with further decline in
ARPUs, going forward. Further, with the telecom companies moving their focus to the rural areas for driving
the future subscriber growth they might not witness a commensurate increase in revenues. In fact, the risk of
steep decline in ARPUs will increase going forward as the telecom companies penetrate rural markets that are
characterized by higher concentration of low income, low-usage customers. A higher-than-expected decline
in ARPU poses a risk of

Page | 20
reduction in margins of service providers. Alternatively, telecom operators are turning their focus to steadily
increasing the minutes of usage (MoU) to counter the sustained fall in ARPUs. Likewise, the growth of the
VAS is also crucial for some improvement in the ARPUs of operators.
Lack of Telecom Infrastructure
Lack of telecom infrastructure in semi-rural and rural areas could be one of the major hindrances in tapping
the huge rural potential market, going forward. The service providers have to incur a huge initial fixed cost to
enter rural service areas. Further, as many rural areas in India lack basic infrastructure such as road and power,
developing telecom infrastructure in these areas involve greater logistical risks and also extend the time take n
to roll out telecom services. The lack of trained personnel in the rural area to operate and maintain the cellular
infrastructure, especially passive infrastructure such as towers, is also seen as a hurdle for extending telecom
services to the under penetrated rural areas.
Rural Areas Continue to Remain Under Penetrated A rural teledensity of merely 15% point towards the fact
that a majority of Indian population still do not have access to telecom services. The rural India seems to have
remained untouched by the telecom revolution witnessed in the last few years. A huge 'digital divide', which
is reflected by the enormous difference of 74% between the urban and rural teledensity, reiterates this fact.
However, with the urban markets reaching a saturation point, the telecom service providers are penetrating
rural areas for driving future growth. Thus, the service providers entering new rural markets might witness
substantial increase in subscriber base. The expansion in the rural areas, however, has increased the risk of
further decline in the ARPUs. Nonetheless the revenue growth from these regions is unlikely to match the
surge in the subscriber base.
Excessive Competition
Another major concern that has come to the forefront in the recent past has been heightened competitive
intensity in the industry that has correspondingly fuelled the price war between industry players. The Indian

Page | 21
wireless market is one of the world’s most competitive markets, with 12 operators across 23 wireless ‘circles’
and 6 to 8 competing operators in each circle. The auction of new 4G licences and the introduction of mobile
number portability (MNP) are likely to heat up competition in the industry, going forward. Spectrum is the
most important resource that is required for providing mobile services. Given that spectrum is a finite resource,
the availability of the same would be inversely proportional to the number of operators. Thus, larger the
number of service providers smaller will be the amount of spectrum available to each of them.
Scarcity of spectrum leads to higher capex on deployment of mobile networks for the operators as they need
more cell sites to improve service quality. Further the growing usage of spectrum and the resultant scarcity
may lead to re-use of spectrum and increase chances of congestion in networks leading to constraints on
service quality. Evidently, the competition in the industry is expected to intensify further with the entry of
new players, both domestic as well as foreign players. With the competitive intensity of the industry already
at such high levels new operators might find it difficult to gather significant share in Indian telecom market.
While the new players may benefit from a faster network rollout through tower sharing, they will face
challenges in terms of high subscriber acquisition costs and lower ARPU customers.
Lower Broadband Penetration
The Indian economy remains highly underpenetrated in terms of broadband connections. High cost of devices
(PC and laptop), high internet charges and lower wireline connections have been some of the major factors
inhibiting broadband penetration. Broadband is one of the key catalysts for economic development and major
initiatives by both the government and service providers are needed to increase its penetration.
Spectrum Allocation 4G Spectrum availability is one of the major concerns for the industry. Lack of adequate
spectrum which is the most integral part of the mobile telephony sector could hamper its growth severely.
However, the spectrum allotment has been the most controversial issues in the Indian telecom sector. The
smooth process of scheduled 4G spectrum allocation is likely to be one of the key factors affecting the industry
dynamics, going forward. Given the highly-competitive nature of the Indian telecom industry on one hand,
and limited licenses in the 4G network on the other, the risk of excessive biding by the service providers has
increased. Irrational bidding, especially in some circles, might render 4G services financially-unviable.
Further, there exists a risk of delay in allotment of proposed spectrum to the service providers who have
successfully bid for the 4G spectrum
Other Growth Inhabiting Factors

Page | 22
While the implementation of mobile number portability is likely to aid improvements in quality of service, it
is also likely to increase the churn out ratio significantly. The service providers are likely to turn to the VAS
as a service differentiator; however, widespread VAS deployment is restricted due to language and illiteracy.
The deployment of 4G services is likely to help the emergence of new VAS. Mass acceptance will be crucial
for the success of 4G services in India. Comparatively higher cost of handsets required for accessing 4G
services is likely to be one of the major roadblocks in mass 4G adoption in India.

FINDINGS
Below are some of major findings, I came across during my survey.
 While conducting the survey, I found out that 85% respondents are satisfied with Reliance JIO
services and 15% of respondents are not satisfied. The reasonbeing theyare still facingproblems
of call drops and low network, some of them did say that after April 1st
they might consider using
it.
 Reliance JIO has successfully captured its market in Kadi areas well.
 Most of the users are using dual sim phones and hence they are using it as a secondary service
as they do not want to change their old numbers
 Customers are satisfied the 4G unlimited services as comparison to others services.
 Reliance JIO is expected to grow bigger thereby taking over Bharti Airtel which currently
has a 33.1% of market share whereas the latter is looking to gain over 50%
 Reliance JIO Wifi router which is highly appreciated by the users
 The competition among other mobiles Samsung, Redmi, Apple are high. LYF handsets are
used as a secondary phone by some users.
