Excess capacity, poor demand, and intense competition have taken their toll on the JFTC industry, resulting in pressure on prices and margins. Dependence on BSNL and MTNL has led to a cutback in demand. As a result, the market size of the JFTC industry has shrunk over the last 5 years. Going forward, CRISIL Research expects the demand for JFTC to stabilise at 100 lckm per annum, over the next 5 years.
