 Vodafone India to Take Legal Action Against DoT

Vodafone had filed extension applications for the 3 metro circles with DoT in December 2012. However, the telecom operator did not receive any acknowledgment from DoT. Thus, it decided to file a petition with Delhi High Court for consideration of the license extension applications. High Court instructed DOT to consider the extension application and give Vodafone an effective hearing.

DoT rejected Vodafone's applications for extension without due consideration of the substantive points that were raised.

Vodafone will take legal action against DoT, as the rejection of application could potentially effect millions of customers in the 3 circles. Vodafone says it's willing to pay a fair and reasonable price for the extension of its licenses.
