Vodafone committed to India investments plans
NEW
DELHI: Telecom operator Vodafone India said it is committed to making
the required investments and the comments by its non-executive chairman
Analjit Singh of not investing in the sector were made in his personal
capacity as an investor.
"Vodafone India remains committed to
making requisite investments in India to further build on its success in
delivering superior mobile services to its growing base of over 160
million customers across the country," Vodafone India spokesperson said
in a statement.
In April, British major Vodafone acquired 100%
stake in Vodafone India in phased manner — first 24.65% held jointly by
Singh and his wife and then 10.97% stake held by Piramal Enterprises,
with total investment of Rs 10,142 crore.
Singh on Saturday told PTI that he will not invest in the telecom sector again.
Vodafone said: "The comment attributed to him was made in his personal
capacity as an investor and a pioneer of the Indian telecom sector and
not in his official position as the non-executive chairman of Vodafone
India Ltd."
The company added that Singh continues to be the chairman of the board of Vodafone India, in a non-executive capacity.
Vodafone in India provides 2G and 3G services. In the February auction
it won spectrum for about Rs 19,600 crore and has plans to provide 4G
services using newly acquired radiowaves.
