Indian telecom sector is more than 165 years old. Telecommunications was first introduced in
India in 1851 when the first operational land lines were laid by the government near Kolkata
(then Calcutta), although telephone services were formally introduced in India much later in
1881. Further, in 1883, telephone services were merged with the postal system. In 1947, after
India attained independence, all foreign telecommunication companies were nationalised to
form the Posts, Telephone and Telegraph (PTT), a body that was governed by the Ministry of
Communication. The Indian telecom sector was entirely under government ownership until
1984, when the private sector was allowed in telecommunication equipment manufacturing
only. The government concretised its earlier efforts towards developing R&D in the sector by
setting up an autonomous body – Centre for Development of Telematics (C-DOT) in 1984 to
develop state-of- the-art telecommunication technology to meet the growing needs of the
Indian telecommunication network. The actual evolution of the industry started after the
Government separated the Department of Post and Telegraph in 1985 by setting up the
Department of Posts and the Department of Telecommunications (DoT).
The entire evolution of the telecom industry can be classified into three distinct phases.
Phase I- Pre-Libralisation Era (1980-89)
Phase II- Post Libralisation Era (1990-99)
Phase III- Post 2000
Until the late 90s the Government of India held a monopoly on all types of communications –
as a result of the Telegraph Act of 1885. Until the industry was liberalised in the early
nineties, it was a heavily government- controlled and small-sized market, Government
policies have played a key role in shaping the structure and size of the Telecom industry in
India. As a result, the Indian telecom market is one of the most liberalised market in the
world with private participation in almost all of its segments. The New Telecom Policy
(NTP-99) provided the much needed impetus to the growth of this industry and set the trend
for libralisation in the industry.
Although the Indian telecom industry is one of the fastest-growing industries in the world,
the current tele density or telecom penetration is extremely low when compared with global
standards. No doubt the government has taken certain policy initiatives, which include the
creation of the Universal Service Obligation Fund, for improving rural telephony. These
measures are expected to improve and in fact have already helped increasing the rural tele-
density and bridge the rural-urban gap in tele- density.
In today’s information age, the telecommunication industry has a vital role to play.
Considered as the backbone of industrial and economic development, the industry has been
aiding delivery of voice and data services at rapidly increasing speeds, and thus, has been
revolutionising human communication.
