MUMBAI - Eyeing an eight percent market share by 2018, mobile services provider Uninor, a joint venture between realty firm Unitech and Norway-based Telenor, Tuesday launched services in five telecom circles.
The company, which has licenses to start operations in all the 22 telecom circles of India, is now present in 13 service areas of the country.
The company, which started operations in India in December last, Tuesday launched services in Mumbai, Kolkata, Maharashtra and Goa, Gujarat and West Bengal.
“We have launched our services in almost all the big circles, all the metros except Delhi, and most of the category ‘A’ circles,” said Rohit Chandra, Unitech Wireless’ chief operating officer.
The company has five million customers across all the southern states, Orissa, Uttar Pradesh and Bihar, but it is yet to receive spectrum in Delhi and Assam.
“We are looking at launching in most of the (remaining) circles by 2010-end,” added Chandra.
