\nRead More: Reliance Jio 4G phone could hit a chunk of incumbents' 2G user base<\/strong><\/a>
\n
Fitch said that industry-adjusted gross revenue is now likely to rise in 2018, after the quarterly industry revenue declined by 15.6% yoy to $6.1 billion in the quarter ending March 2017. \"Growth will be driven by increased data consumption and a rise in average spending per user. The monthly tariff on Jio<\/a>'s 4G phone of $2.3 is more than 50% above the current average revenue per rural user, most of which are on 2G phones and consume minimal data,\" the agency said.
\n
Fitch, however, added that the higher monthly tariffs that Jio is charging on JioPhone are likely to limit the impact on the revenue market share of incumbents such as Bharti Airtel<\/a>. \"Incumbents might also see some benefits to the extent that Jio's strategy increases adoption of 4G and helps develop India's smartphone culture - raising data usage and average spending across the market,\" Fitch's Nitin Soni<\/a> said.
\n
\nReliance Jio's cheap 4G handset, JioPhone, will accelerate internet adoption in India, and should help reverse the recent decline in telecoms industry revenue, Fitch said.

\n
\nAccording to the agency, Jio's 4G handset is likely to quickly replace 2G handsets in rural areas, where smartphones had previously been out of reach for many potential customers. It will be available for a $22 or Rs 1500 deposit - which will be refundable after three years - compared with a price of at least $60 for existing 4G smartphones.
\n
\nIndia's internet-adoption rate is among the lowest in Asia-Pacific, owing largely to low smartphone affordability and a lack of fixed-broadband networks in rural areas. Around 95% of the country's 422 million internet subscribers were wireless users as of end-March 2017, according to the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI), and most of those access the internet through smartphones.
\n
\n\"Nevertheless, we maintain a negative outlook on the Indian telecoms sector, which reflects the broader pressures created by Jio since its entry last year,\" Soni said.
\n
\nFitch said that Jio is likely to roll out other offers to increase its subscriber base over the next two years, and incumbents are likely to continue to respond with price cuts, discounts and promotions of their own.

\n
\nJio had already reached 89 million active subscribers at end-May 2017, giving it an 8.7% share of active subscribers. Its revenue market share is much lower, as it has so far competed on an aggressive pricing strategy.
\n
Competitive pressures have encouraged consolidation, and three strong telcos have emerged from the shake-out - Bharti Airtel, Jio and the combined entity of Vodafone<\/a> India and Idea Cellular<\/a>, which are due to merge. Telenor India<\/a> has sold its business to Bharti, and other smaller telcos have also exited the market. The fourth-largest player, Reliance Communication, is at a standstill with its lenders pending the sale of its tower assets and the merger of its wireless business with Aircel Limited. <\/body>","next_sibling":[{"msid":59736029,"title":"Reliance Jio plans to provide free WiFI to 38000 colleges: Report","entity_type":"ARTICLE","link":"\/news\/reliance-jio-plans-to-provide-free-wifi-to-38000-colleges-report\/59736029","category_name":null,"category_name_seo":"telecomnews"}],"related_content":[],"msid":59737598,"entity_type":"ARTICLE","title":"JioPhone to help Reliance Jio increase revenue market share to over 10% in 2018: Fitch","synopsis":"Mukesh Ambani-led Reliance Jio is likely to boost its revenue market share from 3%-4% to more than 10% in 2018, driven by the newly introduced JioPhone that will allow the telco to attract first-time 4G users, Fitch Ratings said on Monday.","titleseo":"telecomnews\/jiophone-to-help-reliance-jio-increase-revenue-market-share-to-over-10-in-2018-fitch","status":"ACTIVE","authors":[{"author_name":"Danish Khan","author_link":"\/author\/479206691\/danish-khan","author_image":"https:\/\/etimg.etb2bimg.com\/authorthumb\/479206691.cms?width=100&height=100&hid=268","author_additional":{"thumbsize":true,"msid":479206691,"author_name":"Danish Khan","author_seo_name":"danish-khan","designation":"Senior Assistant Editor","agency":false}}],"analytics":{"comments":0,"views":105,"shares":0,"engagementtimems":390000,"url":"https:\/\/ettelecom.indiatimes.com\/telecomnews\/jiophone-to-help-reliance-jio-increase-revenue-market-share-to-over-10-in-2018-fitch\/articleshow\/59737598.cms"},"Alttitle":{"minfo":""},"artag":"ETTelecom","artdate":"2017-07-24 15:41:29","lastupd":"2020-01-06 13:34:27","breadcrumbTags":["reliance jio","Fitch Ratings","Jio","Airtel","Industry","Nitin Soni","Vodafone","idea cellular","Telenor India"],"secinfo":{"seolocation":"telecomnews\/jiophone-to-help-reliance-jio-increase-revenue-market-share-to-over-10-in-2018-fitch"}}" data-authors="[" danish khan"]" data-category-name="" data-category_id="" data-date="2017-07-24" data-index="article_1">
