Business highlights


TTML’s key revenue segment is telecommunication services. Between July and August 2003, TTML launched Code-Division Multiple Access (CDMA) mobile and fixed wireless line services in Mumbai, a first of its kind.

Throughout the 2004–2005 fiscal year, the company rebranded its two new sub-brands:

  • The Walky - offered extra features like voicemail, SMS (Short Message Service), and CLI (Caller Line Entry) support. It also offered strong Internet for fixed wireless services without a modem.
  • The Walky Prepaid - The Walky Prepaid was identical to The Walky. The difference was that it offered prepaid services to customers.

With the launch of Tata Indicom True Paid, the company entered the prepaid market again in September 2004. It offered 100% talk time.

  • Reliance Jio: ₹17,29,300 Crore
  • Bharti Airtel Limited: ₹4,75,000 Crore
  • Vodafone Idea Limited: ₹27,301 Crore
With 1.17 billion users (wireless and wireline subscribers) as of July 2022, India's telecom sector is the second largest in the world. As of April 2022, teledensity was 84.88%, total broadband subscriptions reached 7,887 crore, and the subscriber base was 1.16 billion.

In the first quarter of FY22, the telecom industry's gross revenue totaled ₹64,801 crores. In the third quarter of FY21, 3G and 4G data usage contributed 1.78% and 97.74%, respectively, to the overall volume of wireless data usage.

The market for telecommunications services is anticipated to expand at a CAGR (compound annual growth rate) of 6.2% from 2022 to 2032. Due to several factors, the market for telecommunication services is predicted to grow over the forecast period. The factors include the following-
  • The increasing number of smartphone users worldwide.
  • The availability of high-speed internet.
  • The development of 5G internet networks and the expansion of sectors like BPOs, call centres, retail, and e-commerce, many of whose business operations involve telecommunication services.

Risks and concerns


The industry has experienced a drop in revenue in recent years, which may be attributed to the rise in market rivalry, changing company and customer expectations, the impact of digital transformation, and the inability to adjust quickly. The market is still anticipated to increase despite the drop.

The primary risk and concerns for the industry are:


Failure to ensure the reach and reliability of infrastructure


Even if the COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in increased utilisation of telecom networks, telcos are nonetheless under pressure to enhance network performance and coverage. The inability of many consumers to access the fastest speeds is worrisome. While policymakers are promoting a digital society, service providers are facing challenges rolling out networks in remote areas and are offering disruptive technologies as alternatives.

Failure to minimise disruptions to the supply chain


Due to lockdowns that limit the availability of engineers and increased demand, the pandemic has put unprecedented strain on the supply chains for networks and customer premise equipment (CPE). Long-term plans for 5G deployment are still being disrupted by government limitations on 'high-risk' companies. Additionally, telcos are increasingly looking into open radio access network (RAN) technologies to help diversify their supplier connections when new technological cycles break up traditional supply chains.

Not being able to scale internal digitisation projects


COVID-19 compelled numerous operators to speed up their efforts for digital transformation. Due to these triumphs, most media, technology, entertainment, and telecommunications CEOs are now planning new transformation projects and investments. However, they have also given rise to new objectives. Since operators oversee numerous continual transformations within their firms, the main obstacle to these could be the restricted bandwidth of boardrooms.

Failure to upgrade the skill sets and workforce structure


While enhancing diversity and inclusion (D&I) is still a top priority, organisational structures fostering collaboration between internal teams and teams interacting with customers are also becoming increasingly important. Attracting talent is still difficult for telecom companies as they deal with these structural shifts, notably among recent graduates.
