India FM Radio Industry to Touch USD 656 Million by 2019 Finds TechSci Research

BURNABY, Canada, August 18, 2014 /PRNewswire/ --



Anticipated roll out of Phase III Auction Policy coupled with growing advertising
revenues portrays positive outlook for FM Radio Industry in India



In India, radio has been an important mode of advertisement ever since the inception
of the first two radio stations in Bombay (Now Mumbai) and Calcutta (Now Kolkata) in 1927.
In 1999, privatization in FM radio industry started with Phase-I auction. However, the
auction witnessed little success with only 21 radio channel launched in that year. The
phase-II auction policy, which came into effect in 2005, provided the required boost to
the industry with Indian government allocating licenses to 245 operators. However, with
the upcoming Phase - III auctions the more new licenses are expected to be allocated which
would further drive the market for FM Radio Stations in India.

Industry Forecast & Opportunities, 2019 [http://www.techsciresearch.com/2984 ]", the
country's FM radio industry is forecast to reach USD656 million by 2019. Over the last
five years, Delhi/NCR, followed by Maharashtra have emerged as the leading markets for FM
radio in the country. This is mainly attributed to the large number of FM radio listeners
living in these regions. The Phase-III auction policy, which is expected to rollout over
800 radio channel licenses across 227 new cities, is forecast to significantly expedite
the reach of FM radio industry in tier-2 and tier-3 cities during the next five years. The

public player Prasar Bharati, and private players such as Entertainment Network (India)
Limited, Sun TV Network Limited, Reliance Broadcast Network Limited, Music Broadcast
Private Limited and D.B. Corp. Ltd.

policy coupled with diversification of content for varied listener interests are offering

internet radio along with growing use of smartphones in the country is also expected to
boost radio industry in India, especially in urban cities." said Mr. Karan Chechi,
Research Director with TechSci Research, a research based global management consulting

demonstrations and other live events such as music awards, sports events and youth events,
