Today I am going to give some data about the current mobile market subscriber base in the Indian Market. I have read from the few sources like financial express and economic times and came up with the following data. It may be helpful to many people who are dealing with the mobile industry.
Telecommunication Scenario in India:
As everyone knows, if they are not knowing, i will tell you one fact. There is a regulation in Indian market that any company cannot come to India unless they have a tie up with the Indian company.
So many of the foreign companies are coming to India by tying up with the existing mobile companies in India. Latest news is about Japanese company DoCoMo tying up with TATA communications and launching the service named TATA DOCOMO. It is supposed to be a hit which is estimated by many market researchers.
Also there are few ways where they can expand their business with their new technology and other features. Let's see what happens in the near future.
Below are the current features in the mobile market of India.
Overall ARPU GSM services in India:
March Quarter: INR 205 (down 6.82 %)
December Quarter: INR 220
Postpaid ARPU : ARPU for postpaid service fell 2.8 percent to INR 543
from INR 559,
Prepaid ARPU: Declined 6 percent to INR 181 from INR 192.
For CDMA services:
The blended ARPU per month went down to INR 99 from INR 111.
The postpaid ARPU for CDMA services was five times that of prepaid
ARPU, which Trai attributed to the declining importance of processing
fees on recharge vouchers purchased by prepaid subscribers.

reaches 429.72 million for quarter ending March 2009 as against 384.79
