= BACKGROUND=

Delhi has a large network of telecom facilities, which is vital for various economic activities and this has
helped in concentration of these activities in Delhi in preference to other locations in the region. Likewise,
provision of effective and efficient Telecom facilities in the entire NCR holds immense significance in the
context of Regional Plan, where the ultimate aim is to promote growth and balanced development in the
entire region.
Telecommunication sector has witnessed phenomenal growth during the last decade. Growth of mobile
telephony has been the most visible indicator and catalyst for economic growth. Most encouraging feature
has been the growth in coverage and increase in the number of subscriber in rural areas with low tariffs.

Overall teledensity has increased from 18.31% to 78.66% during the eleventh plan period. This
contributed to rise in the living standard of the people, awareness of its importance and personal
conveniences. Thus, a rapid increase in demand for telephones has been generated in Metro centres,
Regional centres and other smaller towns and villages in NCR.
Review of the Regional Plan-2001 undertaken in the year 1999 emphasized the need to bridge the gap
between demand and supply of telephones in the region and to upgrade all the remaining electromechanical
telephone exchanges to electro-digital exchanges and connect the same with modern
transmission media such as optical fiber cables etc.

10.2 EXISTING STATUS
Over the last few years, significant improvement has been made in terms of capacity and technology
upgradation to keep pace with the changing trends.
The telecommunication sector has been dominated by a preference for wireless phones, which increased
from 80.19 per cent (165.09 Million) in March 2007 to 96.62 per cent (919.17 Million) in March 2012.
While the wireless led penetration appears impressive, it is dominated by private sector players and voice
telephony services. The mobile broadband services also need to keep pace with the voice telephony
growth.

The National Telecom Policy-2012 seeks to achieve broadband on demand and envisages leveraging
telecom infrastructure to enable all citizens and business, both in rural and urban areas to participate in the
internet and web economy thereby ensuring equitable and inclusive development. The objective is to
transform the country into an empowered and inclusive knowledge based society using
telecommunication as a platform. The Policy also emphasize on providing affordable and quality
telecommunication services in rural and remote areas.
