New Delhi, June 29, 2012: The Indian telecom equipment industry posted marginally lower revenues of Rs 1,13,188 crore in 2011-12 compared to Rs 1,14,133 crore in FY2010-11, according to the 2012 annual survey of the Indian Telecom industry by CyberMedia group’s flagship journal for the telecom industry, Voice&Data.
The17th annual survey, Voice&Data 100, covered over 500 telecom companies in India spanning carrier equipment, enterprise communication equipment, and user device manufacturers.
According to the Voice&Data 100 survey, nearly half
of the telecom equipment revenue came from carrier equipment manufacturers,
which saw a dip of 5.06% to touch Rs 55,333 crore during the year. In the
previous year, FY10-11, the segment had registered Rs 58,285 crore revenue.
Enterprise equipment grew at 8.89% to report revenues of
Rs 23,183 crore in the year, up from Rs 21,291 crore in FY10-11. The user
device segment that includes mobile handsets, fixed phones, data cards and
tablet computers, contributed more than one-third to the total telecom
equipment industry, at Rs 34,672 crore, recording a flat growth of 0.33% from
Rs 34,557 crore a year ago.
“The survey bears out market apprehensions
that the operators have slowed down investments in building, expanding and
upgrading their networks. This could have a serious impact on Indian’s tele-density
and broadband targets,” says Ibrahim Ahmad, Group Editor, Voice&Data.
The Top 10 Club
Mobile handset maker Nokia had the
highest revenue during the year followed by Korean electronics major Samsung.
They were followed by telecom equipment manufacturers like Cisco, Huawei, Nokia
Siemens Networks, Ericsson, and Alcatel-Lucent. The Top10 club also saw
inclusion of software companies like TCS, Wipro and Tech Mahindra.

Voice&Data attributes the sharp decline
in the carrier equipment revenues to policy uncertainty which restrained many
telecom operators from releasing large scale network expansion orders. The Top
10 club also saw Samsung registering highest growth of 57.34% to capture the
second position with revenues of Rs 9,000 crore, riding high on its smartphone
and tablet portfolio.
Within the carrier equipment
business, segments like transmission, telecom turnkey and wireless
infrastructure were the biggest losers. Transmission segment dropped 21.88% to
report revenues of Rs 3,825 crore (from Rs 4,896 crore last year). The telecom
turnkey segment revenue dropped 65.27% to Rs 1,862 crore (from Rs 5,362 crore).
The wireless infrastructure segment dipped 40.51% to record revenue of Rs
10,930 crore from Rs 18,374 crore a year ago.
The enterprise equipment business
grew by 8.89% to reach Rs 23,183 crore in FY11-12 from Rs 21,291 crore in
FY10-11. Enterprise cost saving equipment segments like audio-video
conferencing and voice solutions showed significant growth of 16% and 15%
respectively. Modem and router industry saw a negative growth as enterprises
demanded futuristic and multi-tasking devices like single device working as
modem, router and switch.
“Higher spend on enterprise and
consumer communications in the last fiscal re-iterates increasing importance of
user communications. Operators will have to enhance their services to match user
expectations,” added
Ahmad.
