Methodology
The mobile handset analysis includes CDMA and GSM handsets and doesn't
include FWTs, which are now being included in the fixed phones category.
For V&D estimates, we have taken grey which is replaced by parallel
import, replacement market, and also churn plus duplicate SIM to get a true
picture of India's GSM handset market.
The good thing about FY 2004–05 was the sharp drop in grey market, from 25
percent in FY 2003–04 to almost around 15 percent due to drop in customs duty.
The 15 percent grey was basically parallel imports, which is a new phenomena in
the Indian market. The replacement market is around 10 percent of the total base
whereas churn plus duplicate SIM was around 15 percent.
