Industry Outlook

Currently, India is the world’s second-largest telecommunications market with a subscriber base of 1.16 billion. The telecommunication industry in India has registered rapid growth over the past decade and propelled by favourable regulation policies of the Government, the Indian telecom sector is expected to witness further growth in the next few years. 

Webfil Limited’sDigital Division, engaged primarily in the manufacture of a range of telecommunication equipment, and execution of turnkey projects for telecommunication networks, is progressing at a commendable pace, and the recent reforms in the telecom sector are expected to have a favourable impact on the Division’sinitiatives for further growth.

The Digital Division continues to serve the Indian Railways significantly, and recent initiatives in the sector aimed at empowerment of Indian Railways have lifted the Division’shopes of augmenting the volume of business transacted with the Railways. The ‘Digital India’ campaign launched by the Government of India is likely to result in the growth of telecom infrastructure projects undertaken across the country with the objective of providing citizens with increased Internet connectivity, and improved online infrastructure for accessing services electronically. The special projects segment of the Digital Division of Webfil limited hopes to reap a substantial number of benefits from such developments.

The manufacture of illumination devices in the country is undergoing modernisation and due to the increasing demand for energy-efficient products, the business volume of the Company’s FilamentDivision is not likely to develop further.
