Telenor India (formerly known as Uninor〔(Uninor Changes Name to Telenor, Expands Call Drop Refund Plan ) gadgets.ndtv.com | Sep 23, 2015〕〔(Uninor re-brands itself as Telenor in India ) September 23, 2015 | thehindu.com〕), is an Indian mobile network operator based in Gurgaon, Haryana, India. The company is a wholly owned subsidiary of Telenor Group, a telecommunications company headquartered in Oslo, Norway. Telenor owns 100% of the stake in the holding company, Telenor India Communications Pvt Ltd. Telewings offers mobile voice and data services based on the GSM technology, on 5 MHz spectrum. Telenor services are commercially available in 6 circles, covering a population footprint of 600 million people. Telenor serves more than 30 million customers in the states of Uttar Pradesh, Uttarkhand, Bihar, Jharkhand, Maharashtra, Goa, Gujarat and Andhra Pradesh. The mobile service provider targets youth and other communities within the Indian mass market. In recent Spectrum auctions Telenor secured fresh spectrum in 4 of its existing circles and in a new circle of Assam. Spectrum acquired by Uninor in the 1800Mhz band 〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Uninor )〕 UP East – 1.8 MHz UP West – 2.0 MHz Bihar and Jharkhand – 2.2 MHz Andhra Pradesh – 1.4 MHz Assam – 6.0 MHz == History == The company ''Unitech Wireless'' was until 2009 a subsidiary of Unitech Group, holding a wireless services licence for all 22 Indian telecom circles since 2008. In early 2009, Unitech Group and Telenor Group agreed to enter a joint venture where Telenor would inject fresh equity investments of 61.35 billion into Unitech Wireless to take a majority stake in the company. This was operating capital invested directly in Unitech Wireless by Telenor Group. Telenor Group conducted these investments in four tranches, subsequent to approvals from the Foreign Investment Promotion Board (FIPB) and the Cabinet Committee of Economic Affairs (CCEA) took 67.25% ownership of Unitech Wireless.〔(Telenor.com - Approval of Unitech Wireless’ application to increase foreign shareholding announced ). 16 October 2009.〕 In September 2009, the company announced its brand name as Uninor. Telenor has acquired all stake from Unitech and its shareholding in the firm stands at 74% Uninor launched in 8 circles on 3 December 2009, after completing one of the world’s largest GSM Greenfield launches which was also one of the fastest telecom roll-outs ever in India. According to Uninor, the brand was built around an ambition to serve the young, aspiring India. Six months later, 5 additional circles were launched including metropolitan areas like Mumbai and Kolkata. Uninor has facilitated rapid scaling of the company through a lean operation model, where a large share of the network infrastructure is outsourced to business partners. Uninor’s modern equipment has enabled it to introduce targeted offerings and serve a large audience with limited spectrum. Uninor introduced dynamic pricing, a concept that gives consumers discounts that are based on current network traffic at an individual site and change with location and time. Over the summer of 2010, the company further simplified its strategy with a focus on three core areas – excellence in mass market distribution, basic services and cost efficient operations. Changes were also made to the product mix and marketing– making them simpler, more direct and clearly positioning Uninor as an affordable mass market service. Uninor grew from 0 to 45.6 million customers (as of Q2 2012) within less than two years, and emerged as the most successful of the new entrants that obtained licenses in 2008. The company had more than double the subscribers of all of the other entrants combined. On 2 February 2012, the Supreme Court of India cancelled 122 licenses of 22 mobile operators, including Uninor. In July 2012, Uninor decided to gradually scale down operations in 4 circles - Karnataka, Kerala, Orissa and Tamil Nadu. The objective was to strengthen the focus on the top performing circles ahead of the 2012 spectrum auction. Uninor eventually shut down services in those 4 circles. In the 2012 auction, Uninor won back licences and spectrum in 6 circles - Uttar Pradesh (East), Uttar Pradesh (West), Bihar, Gujarat, Maharashtra & Goa and Andhra Pradesh.〔Biswas, Rudradeep.

Retrieved on 2013-07-28.〕 Uninor was about shut down services in Mumbai, Kolkata and West Bengal circles on 18 January 2013 but the deadline was extended to 16 February 2013. The Supreme Court on 15 February 2013 ordered companies that did not win spectrum in the November 2012 auction to immediately discontinue operations.〔(Uninor to close down its services in Mumbai Today ).
