ITI is another imprint found on 300 type telephones; it stands for Indian Telephone
Industries, a company established in 1948 with help from ATE. Tooling for the Telephone No. 332 was exported to India and is/was used
to produce these telephones (the mouldings look rather rough
now).
Typical
base markings for an Indian example are DJL 11044-A8. Manufactured by Indian Telephone
Industries. Bangalore B
71/1 INDIA.
The Handset will
most probably have ITI stamped centrally on the handle.
The picture below
gives a good indication of the colour range available:-
Top row - Mushroom,
Peach, Powder Pink, Ivory.
Bottom row - Red, Light Green, Powder Blue, Black.
The ITI dial is based on the ATM No. 24C dial and therefore the finger stop will
always be some distance from the digit 0.

Conversion Information for Plug and Socket working in the UK
This UK conversion information refers to the ITI 332 with 13 terminals and
the large cylindrical capacitor. Converted phones should not be connected to any network provider in the
UK. The old line cord is discarded and a new style line cord with plug one
end and spade terminals the other
installed.
- Remove the existing line cord from terminals 6 & 8.
- Remove the metal link between terminals 5 and 6.
- Insert a 3.3k resistor between terminals 5 and 6.
- Link terminals 8 and 9 together.
- Check that terminals 11 and 12 are linked.
- Connect the red of the new line cord to terminal 8.
- Connect the white of the new line cord to terminal 6.
- Disconnect the orange wire from the capacitor.
- Connect the orange wire to the new blue line cord spade and insulate.
- Insulate the green wire of the new line cord - it is not connected to
anything.
- Connect a rectifier element across terminals 1 and 2.
