The Indian telecom sector has consolidated into a near-duopoly with Jio and Airtel controlling 70%+ subscriber market share (80%+ revenue share). Vodafone-Idea remains a distant third with uncertain viability. This structure enables rational pricing and consistent ARPU growth through tariff hikes.
5G rollout is complete for Jio and Airtel, opening enterprise and FWA revenue streams. Data consumption per user exceeds 20 GB/month, among the highest globally. Key metrics: ARPU (Average Revenue Per User), subscriber additions, churn rate, and capex intensity.
Tower companies (Indus Towers) benefit from tenancy ratios and co-location revenue. The sector trades at high PE (50-80x) due to heavy depreciation, but EV/EBITDA of 8-10x is more relevant.
