Defense

The country's defence services include three Armed Forces (i.e., the Army, the Navy and the Air Force), and other Departments, primarily Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) and Defence Ordnance Factories.

Defence Public Sector Units (DPSUs) continue to play an integral part in the defence production. The private sector mainly has been involved in supply of raw materials, semi-finished products, parts and components to Defence PSUs and Ordnance Factories to a great extent and also to Base Workshops of Army and Base Repair Depots of Air Force and the Dockyards of the Navy.

Several hi-tech equipments have also been successfully produced by the private sector. In the quest for self-reliance in the crucial sector of defence, the Government has been continuing its efforts to indigenize defence equipment wherever technologically feasible and economically viable.


Telecom

The telecom industry has been divided into two major segments, that is, fixed and wireless cellular services for this report. Besides, internet services, VAS, PMRTS and VSAT also have been discussed in brief in the report.

In today’s information age, the telecommunication industry has a vital role to play. Considered as the backbone of industrial and economic development, the industry has been aiding delivery of voice and data services at rapidly increasing speeds, and thus, has been revolutionising human communication.

Although the Indian telecom industry is one of the fastest-growing industries in the world, the current teledensity or telecom penetration is extremely low when compared with global standards. India’s teledensity of 36.98% in FY09 is amongst the lowest in the world. Further, the urban teledensity is over 80%, while rural teledensity is less than 20%, and this gap is increasing. As majority of the population resides in rural areas, it is important that the government takes steps to improve rural teledensity. No doubt the government has taken certain policy initiatives, which include the creation of the Universal Service Obligation Fund, for improving rural telephony. These measures are expected to improve the rural tele-density and bridge the rural-urban gap in tele-density.


Travel & Tourism

Tourism in India is a large industry. The World Travel and Tourism Council calculated that tourism generated $121 billion or 6.4% of the nation's GDP in 2011. It was responsible for 39,3 million jobs, 7.9% of its total employment. The GDP of the tourism sector has expanded 229% between 1990 and 2011. The sector is predicted to grow at an average annual rate of 7,7% in the next decade. In a 2011 forecast the World Travel and Tourism Council predicted the annual growth to be 8,8% between 2011 and 2021. This gave India the fifth rank among countries with the fastest growing tourism industry. India has a large medical tourism sector which is expected to grow at an estimated rate of 30% annually to reach about ₹ 9,500 crore by 2015.

In the year 2011, there were nearly 6.29 million foreign tourist arrivals in India, up by over 8% from the year 2010 when 5.78 million foreign tourists arrived in India. Domestic tourist visits to all states and Union Territories numbered 747.70 million. The majority of foreign tourists come from the United States (16%) and the United Kingdom (12,6%). In 2011 Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu and Delhi were the most popular states for foreign tourists. Domestic tourists visited the states Uttar Pradesh, Andhra Pradesh and Tamil Nadu most frequently. Chennai, Delhi, Mumbai and Agra have been the four most visited cities of India by foreign tourists during the year 2011. Worldwide, Chennai is ranked 41 by the number of foreign tourists, while Delhi is ranked at 50, Mumbai at 57 and Agra at 65.


Hospitality

India has traditionally been a country famous for its hospitality. It, therefore, doesn't come as a surprise when the country's hospitality sector clocks impressive growth figures. One of the fastest growing verticals in the country, the hospitality sector has been recording an annual growth rate of eight percent, and is expected to maintain this rate till 2016.

As per the World Travel and Tourism Council (WTTC) and Accenture, the Indian hospitality industry would generate revenues of approximately $100 billion in FY 2008, which are expected to further increase to $275.5 billion by 2018.

The hospitality vertical is broadly divided into two parts – the hotels industry and the tourism industry. The hotel industry in the country already has the presence of a large number of international brands, such as Meridien, Radisson, Marriott International, Hyatt and Sheraton. Notable domestic players in this space include Hotel Corporation of India and Indian Tourism Development Corporation Hotels (in the public sector) and Oberoi Hotels, Indian Hotels Company (the parent company of Taj Hotels), ITC Hotels, Leela Venture and Asian Hotels (in the private sector).

The Ministry of Tourism has presently classified and approved about 2000 hotels that offer a combined capacity of about 110,000 hotel rooms. About 4.4 million tourists visit India annually.

From a revenue standpoint, metros contribute the bulk accounting for as much as 75 percent to 80 percent of the total revenue generated. Among metros, Delhi and Mumbai rank as the top two.
