Naveen Kulkarni of Phillip Capital is of the opinion that Reliance Jio

's revenues may see a meagre 1 percent decline following its move to
drop national roaming charges, said Naveen Kulkarni of PhillipCapital.
Roaming charges, both international and national, constitute around 4

Kulkarni added that the tariff war has only become. He expects a lot of
pressure on tariffs in the telecom sector for the next one to two years.
Voice realisations in this period are going to witness a sharp decline.
The telecom industry has been in consolidation mode, after Reliance Jio
disrupted the sector by providing unlimited free voice and data. While
industry giants Vodafone India and Idea Cellular
plan a merger, Bharti Airtel recently acquired Telenor's India wing to
become more competitive.
