India has one of the fastest growing and largest telecommunications services market in the world, Much of the increases in telecom services were met through imports to begin with The state has now responded to this by attempting to make India a manufacturing hub for telecommunications equipment. Although there is evidence of increased domestic production of telecom equipment, the surging demand has necessitated imports. The value added by domestic manufacturing is still very low, but is likely to increase as the scale of domestic manufacturing increases.

印度的移動通信服務業:印度成為電信設備製造中心的契機?

印度擁有世界上增長最快并且最大的電信服務市場。但快速增長的電信服務所使用的大多數是進口設備。印度政府已經對這一情況作出回應,試圖使印度成為電信設備的生產中心。儘管目前國產設備已有所增加,激增的需求卻使進口也必不可少。本文認為,雖然目前國產設備所提供的增值仍然很低,但隨著國產量的增加,增值將會逐漸提高。
