Draft national telecom policy released

Early last week, the government released the draft national telecom policy naming it as National Digital Communications Policy (NDCP) 2018. The policy seeks to increase the contribution of digital communications to India’s gross domestic product (GDP) to 8%, besides propelling India among the top 50 nations in the ICT development index. The draft also proposes to address the woes of the debt-ridden telecom sector by reviewing licence fees, spectrum usage charges, universal service obligation fund levy, all of which add to the cost of telecom services, under the new policy for enhancing ease of doing business in the sector.

In related news, in March 2018 telecom operators added 21.9 million subscribers. The performance in March is the best for the industry in over a year. Benefit from this trend by investing with Digital Inclusion smallcase.
