GROWTH Reliance Industries Limited (RIL) s Broadband launch has been highly awaited. While there is a high level of speculation regarding its aggressive participation in the 2G auction, sources say that it has already set the ball rolling for its 2013 Broadband launch. It has already come to the fore by employing people, engaging in talks with vendors for networks and devices and development of applications. It may also decide on its partner ecosystem during the 1st quarter of 2013. Reliance Infotel seems to be highly resolute about its services being the finest, when it rolls it out. Reliance Infotel is currently the only pan India 4G license holderthat intends to have its 4G services based on the LTE (Long Term Evolution) technology. The 2G auction holds a lot of significance for the telecom players as voice telephony still serves to be a fundamental feature that tethers with the masses at least until the time data services makes it big in the country. Besides, it will take time for India to get the grip of the pure play data offering and a dual model voice cum data services, has high chances of being a successful formula. Growth in refinery capacity addition is expected to outpace growth in demand and will keep a check on operating rates. Demand in Europe and the US is expected to shrink or at best stay unchanged. European refiners are already facing the brunt of economic slowdown and high oil prices. FY 2011-12 witnessed several refinery closures in Europe and the US. RIL continued to hold top rankings in polyester and feedstock markets, constantly reaping the benefits of backward integration. Consolidated polyester capacity of RIL stood at 2.4 MMT. According to PCI, RIL held the 1st rank in polyester fibre and filament capacity, 5th rank in PX and 8th in PTA and MEG. RIL catered to 38% of the domestic market and exported to over 100 destinations.

The key drivers for growth and transformation in retail industry are: Increasing Urbanisation: Urban India has grown by nearly five times in the last fifty years. Urbanisation indicates growing proportion of people in middle and upper income classes, providing impetus to retail growth.

Changing demographic profile: With 65% of the Indian population under the age of 35 and a median age of 26 years, India has one of the worlds youngest populations. A Combination of young population, nuclearisation of families and increasing number of working women acts as major growth driver in retail. Rising incomes and propensity towards disposability: Rapid economic growth over the last few years has resulted in a sustained increase in per capita incomes in India, resulting in discretionary household spending, which in turn leads to retail growth. Aspirational lifestyle: Rapid globalisation, media proliferation and increasing internet penetration have led to an increase in awareness levels about world class brands and products. With rise in disposable income levels, the consumer is willing to spend more on self, giving impetus to retail. Financial Sector: The increased availability of credit cards and retail loans has boosted the organised retail industry.
