"Telecom Industry in India" The telecommunication industry in India was one of the most swiftly growing sectors in the world with stupendous growth over the last decade. It was regarded as the third largest in the world and the second largest among the emerging economies of Asia. Besides the public sector, the private segment had made significant contribution that had turned the industry into one of the key contributors to the Indian success story. It had an impressive growth trajectory, adding nearly 9 million subscribers per month, bringing the mobile subscriber base to over 903 million by January, 2012. BCG, in January, 2011, indicated that the Indian telecom market would surpass the US $100 billion mark by 2015. This report contradicted the prevalent common belief that growth in the telecom sector had reached a saturation point. In 1994, when mobile phones were introduced in India, the country was divided into 23 circles and licences were issued as per these circles. The circles were classified into four categories — Metros, A, B and C - on the basis of revenue potential; Metro and A circles were expected to have the highest potential. The telecom market in India was highly competitive compared to other countries, and there were over 11 operators in each circle, which was unheard of anywhere else in the world. Different players included Airtel, Reliance, Vodafone (earlier Hutch), Idea, Tata, state-owned BSNL and many more.

The project include Rayalaseema Lift Irrigation Scheme (RLIS) taken up by the Andhra Pradesh government, and the hydel power generation projects taken up by the Telangana government. Historical Background about the dispute over Krishna River A dispute over the sharing of Krishna waters has been ongoing for many decades, beginning with the erstwhile Hyderabad and Mysore states, and later continuing between the successors Maharashtra, Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh. The first Krishna Water Disputes Tribunal (KWDT) was set up in 1969, under the Inter- State River Water Dispute Act, 1956. The report divided the 2060 TMC (thousand million cubic feet) of Krishna water at 75% dependability into three parts amongst Maharashtra, Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh. Afterward, as new grievances arose between the three states, the second KWDT was instituted in 2004. It delivered its report in 2010, which made allocations of the Krishna water at 65% dependability into three parts.

Virtual Conference on E-Waste Management in India: New Business Opportunities 24th September 2020: Webex Digital Platform Index Report Glimpses of Conference Programme Speaker Profiles Sponsors – Company Information E-Waste Management in India: New Business Opportunities 24th September 2020: Webex Digital Platform A R E P O R T The Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) organized a virtual conference on `E-Waste Management in India: New Business Opportunities’ on 24th September 2020 over Webex digital platform. India ranks fifth amongst the largest e-waste producing countries, after USA, China, Japan & Germany, with over 3.2 MT of e-waste generated in 2019. With continuous growth of consumer electronics & appliances year-on-year, India has been witnessing a faster e-waste generation in recent times, which is growing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of about 30 per cent in the country. Only 20 per cent of the global e-waste is currently recycled. This indicates that India has the potential, with the available manpower, infrastructure and by using advanced technologies, to be the E- waste Recycling and Managing hub of the world. The total value of all raw materials present in e-waste is estimated at approximately $61.05 billion, which is more than the GDP of most countries in the world. Since India is highly deficient in precious mineral resources while untreated e- waste goes to landfill, there is need for a well-designed, regulated e-waste recovery regime which would generate jobs as well as wealth.
