This number was 117 million units in 2009.And almost 19% is a healthy growth shown by the Indian mobile handset market.Gartner has also said that the growth will be steady with number of units reaching to 206 million in 2014. India, as a mobile market is very lucrative for mobile operators as well as mobile OEMs. Recently a lot of new companies like Micromax, Lava, Lemon, Videocon etc have jumped into the mobile handset war where big wigs like Nokia, Samsung, LG and Sony Ericsson have been fighting from a long time. Fierce competition among existing and new entrants has led to low call rates and also the proliferation of low cost devices. Companies like Nokia, focus more on dropping the prices of their already launched phones in India. This in turn boosts sales. India is a very important contributor to global mobile phones/services related numbers and no wonder that every mobile OEM or a mobile service operator wants to be here.
