10.9 DIRECT & INDIRECT EMPLOYMENT PROJECTIONS (Over next five years)
10.9.1 Direct & Indirect Employment Projection in Telecom Sector in Mumbai for 2004
According to figures provided by Mahanagar Telephone Nigam Ltd. (MTNL), the total subscriber base (fixed and cellular connections) in the city of Greater Mumbai was 85 lakh subscribers in 2004, with MTNL having 30 lakh subscribers resulting into a market share of 35 per cent. Further, according to figures provided by MTNL, the employee base of the company in Mumbai alone stood at 28,025 employees for the same year.
Incidentally, MTNL is the only public sector player in the Mumbai’s Telecom Marketplace, while the five other players sharing the market are private sector operators. Since MNTL holds 35 per cent out of the total subscriber market share, we can very well reason that the balance 65 per cent market share, i.e. 55 lakh subscribers was catered to by the private sector players.
