lower revenues of Rs 113,188 crore in 2011-12 compared to Rs 114,133 crore in F
Y2010-11, according Voice&Data magazine.

registered Rs 58,285 crore revenue.

The Top 10 Club


Mobile handset maker Nokia had the highest revenue during
the year followed by Korean electronics major Samsung. They were followed by
telecom equipment manufacturers like Cisco, Huawei, Nokia Siemens Networks,
Ericsson, and Alcatel-Lucent. The Top10 club also saw inclusion of software
companies like TCS, Wipro and Tech Mahindra.


The decline in the carrier equipment revenues is due to policy
uncertainty which restrained many telecom operators from releasing large scale
network expansion orders.

57.34 percent to capture the second position with revenues of Rs 9,000 crore,
riding high on its smartphone and tablet portfolio.

transmission, telecom turnkey and wireless infrastructure were the biggest
losers. Transmission segment dropped 21.88 percent to report revenues of Rs
3,825 crore (from Rs 4,896 crore last year). The telecom turnkey segment
revenue dropped 65.27 percent to Rs 1,862 crore (from Rs 5,362 crore). The

cost saving equipment segments like audio-video conferencing and voice
solutions showed significant growth of 16 percent and 15 percent respectively.
