Firms like Airtel and Vodafone may benefit from this growth if Jio Infocomm from Reliance delays launch of services. 4G smartphone base is expected to jump from 5 million in 2015 to 180 million (18 crore) by 2018, leading to 4G subscribers accelerating from almost zero in 2016 to 90 million (9 crore) by FY 2018.
