Largest Mobile networks in India (2000-2020) - History of Indian telecom industry - Bar chart race

This video is about the leading Mobile telecom Operators in India between the year 2000 and 2020.

These companies have been very important to how mobile networks have been made accessible to Indians.

Indians are enjoying a boom in information technology with the worlds cheapest data rates because of the intense competition between these firms.

India's telecommunication network is the second largest in the world by number of telephone users (both fixed and mobile phone) with 1179.49 million subscribers as on 31 January 2021

It has one of the lowest call tariffs in the world enabled by mega telecom operators and hyper-competition among them.

Indian telecom industry underwent a high pace of market liberalisation and growth since the 1990s and now has become the world's most competitive and one of the fastest growing telecom markets.

According to London-based telecom trade body GSMA, the telecom sector accounted for 6.5% of India's GDP in 2015, or about ₹9 lakh crore (US$130 billion), and supported direct employment for 2.2 million people in the country. GSMA estimates that the Indian telecom sector will contribute ₹14.5 lakh crore (US$200 billion) to the economy and support 3 million direct jobs and 2 million indirect jobs by 2020.

In August 1995, then Chief Minister of West Bengal, Jyoti Basu made the first mobile phone call in India to then Union Telecom Minister Sukhram. Sixteen years later 4G services were launched in Kolkata in 2012.

With a subscriber base of more than 1151.8 million (31 Oct 2020),[2] the mobile telecommunications system in India is the second-largest in the world and it was thrown open to private players in the 1990s

The dominant players are Vi, Airtel, Jio, and BSNL/MTNL. International roaming agreements exist between most operators and many foreign carriers. The government allowed Mobile number portability (MNP) which enables mobile telephone users to retain their mobile telephone numbers when changing from one mobile network operator to another.

In this video, we see all the mergers and acquisitions and also how the consumer base for these firms has varied through the years.
