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

India has opted for the use of both the GSM (global system for mobile communications) and CDMA (code-division multiple access) technologies in the mobile sector. In addition to landline and mobile phones, some of the companies also provide the WLL service. The mobile tariffs in India have also become the lowest in the world.
