Vodafone Idea eyes 100% network integration by June 2020

New Delhi: India’s largest telecom operator Vodafone Idea Ltd is ahead of time in unifying its assets across its two telecom brands Vodafone and Idea and aims to complete the entire network integration by June 2020, a senior company official said. Vodafone Idea has the largest subscriber base of 387 million users and the largest spectrum holding worth 1850 MHz in the country.

“Almost 38% of our spectrum assets have been consolidated for both brands. Network integration is complete in nine out of 22 telecom circles in the country… At the time of the merger announcement (in August) we had expected the entire network integration to complete in three years but we have revised that estimate and we will compete this by June 2020,” chief technology officer Vishant Vora said.
