Telcos hiring down to 30% in FY25, job additions will be seen in 5G roles, and for expansion plans, says report

The growth of the workforce in India's telecom sector is expected to slow down to 30% in FY25, compared to 31% in FY24 and 51% in FY23, according to data from TeamLease and Quess Corp. This is due to the lower capital expenditure of major telecom companies like Reliance Jio and Bharti Airtel, who have completed their 5G expansion plans. However, other players like BSNL and Vodafone Idea are expected to add jobs for their expansion plans and 5G roll-out. Overall, the telecom industry remains one of the top five employers in India, with positions in various segments actively recruited. Additionally, apprenticeships in telecom companies have increased in the last two years.
