Once applauded as the poster boy of India’s economic reforms and now vilified over the 2G scam, the telecom sector is all set to get a glimpse of new norms aimed at cleaning up and rejuvenating the sector with the unveiling of the Draft New Telecom Policy 2011 in New Delhi on Monday.
With a major thrust on transparency and the investment climate, the New Telecom Policy 2011 (NTP-11) is widely expected to help lure more foreign investors to the country and plug the digital divide.
The draft NTP-11, to be unveiled by Telecom Minister Kapil Sibal, proposes to recognise telecom as an infrastructure sector -- which would entail tax concessions -- so that more investment flows in.
