including unlimited calling and data plans. Its entry

revolutionized the telecommunication sector across the
country. Its aggressive and innovative tariff plans helped Jio
become the fourth-largest telecom provider in India within six
months of its launch. Even after the freebie period ended on
March 31, 2017, Jio continued to offer the cheapest data plans
as compared to its rivals. This helped it maintain its
competitive edge in the market. Joi’s dominance continued,
and it soon surpassed other major players in the market. Jio’s
rise led to consolidation in the market, with two of the top
players, Idea and Vodafone, announcing a merger that left the
country with three major telecom players. Jio’s continuous
strong run changed the dynamics of the Indian telecom
industry, with experts opining that it would soon monopolize
India’s telecom sector. The competitors who were
experiencing shrinking revenues, mounting quarterly losses,
and high debt were taken aback when in October 2019, the
Supreme Court of India gave a ruling directing Airtel and
Vodafone Idea to pay dues amounting to Rs. 410 billion and
Rs.400 billion respectively toward licensing fees and spectrum
charges. Given the financial condition of these companies,
they would find it difficult to pay the dues. These companies
were desperately looking to the government for some relief
measures that would enable them to stay on in the market. The
competitors’ problems gave Jio ample time to execute its plans
and consolidate its position at their cost. Jio’s cheap pricing
seemed attractive in the short run, but given the firm’s
investment in network coverage, quality, and technology, it
was doubtful whether it could continue to offer low prices in
the long run.
1. Explain Jio’s entry and growth in the Indian
telecom market
2. Evaluate the possibility of market monopolization
