Market share of Mobile Handsets in India

According to the article “Local Brands and Samsung grow at Nokia’s expense in India” the market share of mobile handsets in India is,

Indian brands (Micromax, Spice, Karbonn, Lava, Lemon, Max) gained a cumulative 10 percentage points of market share in the very competitive Indian market.

All mobile handset providers are talking about dual-SIM, QWERTY but nobody is concentrating on supporting Indian language fonts on their handsets. I am not talking about language keyboards, for now, we will have language reading community on mobiles, so it would be good if they first support language fonts on their handsets.

Update: With the rise in Android phones in India, support for Indian language fonts is no longer an issue.
