VIL on a ‘strong footing’ after spectrum acquisition: P Balaji

Spectrum acquisition in recent auctions to fill certain gaps in some circles has put VIL on a “strong footing” to be competitive in the market, ensuring all elements are now in place to offer improved services and compelling proposition to customers, a senior company official said.

Vodafone Idea Limited (VIL) Chief Regulatory and Corporate Affairs Officer, P Balaji sought to “debunk the myth” that VIL may not have acquired large amounts of the spectrum due to financial constraints.

He asserted that the company had bid for just as much radio waves, as it needed to boost its services and coverage. The company has an adequate spectrum to meet customers’ requirement and to be competitive in the market, he told PTI.
