    The political environment in India has significantly impacted the telecom industry over the past few decades. Deregulation in the 1990s opened the industry to private players and increased competition. Further policy changes like allowing higher foreign investment and mobile number portability led to more entrants and shifting consumer behavior. These regulatory changes have both benefited and harmed Airtel at different times through increased competition and changes to revenue sources. The opportunities and threats facing Airtel are assessed based on growing digital adoption trends but also continuing intense competition and potential economic instability.

     In 2005 Government increase FDI in Telcom sector from 49% to 79% and further to 100 % in
    2013. These changes in FDI limits has increased the competition in Industry, wherein lots of
    Foreign players entered in the Industry.
     In 2011 MNP (Mobile Number Portability) started in India. This another polices which
    impacted Airtel adversely initially. This gives freedom to user to move to different service
    provider without losing the his/her original number.

    the cost of setting up business.
