The Indian telecom industry is one of the fastest growing industries in the world and also the second largest market in the world in terms of subscribers. Young people make up a significant portion of the Indian subscriber base. Hence, companies like Nokia, Samsung, LG are very much interested in establishing themselves in the Indian market. Recently, the Union budget 2010 has been announced but there is nothing special for the Indian telecom sector. The budget proposed to extend the benefit of exemption of “Special Additional Duty of Customs” of four percents on parts imported by mobile handset manufacturers. The budget also proposed a tax concession for mobile accessory manufacturers. It also proposed to remove the 24% import duty on raw materials for batteries, charger and other parts and accessories. These tax exemptions will further bring down the price of mobile phone sets and accessories in India.
Another great news for the Indian mobile phone users is that they would be able to access high speed Internet and data transfer through 3G technology and broadband wireless access after September 2010. Indian telecom department set September as the timeline. Within this time, bidders will be allowed to use their allotted airwaves for commercial operation. On February 25, 2010, Indian government issued a notice inviting bids from private telecom operators to participate in the auction of 3G airwaves. Government will allow three private operators.
