12/1/36 INDIA IS GROWING MARKET FOR RADIO SETS, TRANSMITTERS American broadcasters were advised this week by the U. S. Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce that Inida is growing in importance as a market for radio receivers and trans*mitting equipment. With the government of India planning to add five more broadcasting stations, Andrew W. Cruse, Chief of the Electrical Division, commented: "The demand for radio receiving sets in India has increased enormously during the course of the last two years. Total imports of "wireless apparatus" (a high percentage of which is believed to be receiving sets, although these are not separately classified by the Customs) amounted to 2,830,000 rupees during the fiscal year 1935-36, which represents an increase of 75 percent over 1934-35 and 150 percent over 193334. The demand for American sets greatly increased, 1935-36 imports amounting to 1,242,627 rupees as compared with 830,348 rupees in 1934-35 and 178,994 rupees in 1933-34. "Owing to lack of classification, it is difficult to analyze the shares of other countries, but the 1,048,701 rupee share of the United Kingdom is believed to have included a very considerable amount of broadcasting equipment. The Nether¬ lands supplied 381,256 rupees worth of equipment and it is believed that they hold second place after the United States in receiving sets. The rest was made up of some 93,000 rupees from Germany and approximately 65,000 rupees from all other countries. "Bombay remains the largest importer of wireless apparatus, followed by Bengal and Sind, in the order mentioned. It is believed that more wireless apparatus other than radio sets was imported at Bombay and at Sind, while the majority of Bengal's imports was radio.
