Trend and Inequality in Telecommunication Development in India

Indrani Sengupta

Abstract :

 The paper captures the trend in tele–density of India over the period 2000–2014 covering 17 states and 1 Union Territory (UT). Attempts have also been made to measure the inequality trend in tele–density across the states/UT during this period. It has been observed that there has been a substantial improvement in tele–density of India since 2008. The compound growth rate figures of the states/UT computed for the period showed that the states of Jammu & Kashmir, Bihar, Assam, Uttar Pradesh and Orissa were the first five fastest growing states. Splitting the entire data period into three sub–periods 2000–2005, 2005–2010 and 2010–2014 revealed on analysis, that growth rates of the states/UT had been remarkably large during 2005–2010 compared to the periods 2000–2005 and 2010–2014. Inequality measures point to a fall in inequality across the states/UT during the study period.
