Hyderabad , April 6 HUTCH has announced plans to expand the mobile gaming market in India through an offering of over 250 Java-based mobile games, including the Rahul Dravid cricket game, and exclusive development alliance with gaming company, Mauj. The Vice-President, Hutch, Mr Harit Nagpal, in a statement said, "Gaming is one of the fastest growing mobile applications. We have seen this trend internationally, and we are witnessing it now in India." About 1,20,000 mobile games are downloaded every month by Hutch users, a phenomenal 50-fold increase from an average of 2,200 mobile game downloads in February last year. This growth is expected to increase further with the increasing penetration of GPRS handsets and applications. Mr Nagpal said "Indian developers are working on games with Indian themes. Offering over 250 mobile games to our users currently, we are adding two new games to our existing portfolio daily. We are also launching an exclusive Rahul Dravid cricket game which will be available to Hutch users only."
