Vodafone India on Thursday said it has sought extension of its licence period for Delhi, Mumbai and Kolkata circles, which are coming up for renewal in November 2014.
The telecom operator has sought the extension under clause 4.1 of the licence agreement under which the government can extend the period of licence by 10 years at one time if the request is made the operator during the 19th year of the licence period.
In separate letters seeking licence extension for three circles to Telecom Secretary R Chandrashekhar, Vodafone said, 'the 19th year of licence has commenced on 29 November 2012 for Mumbai circle and Novermber 30, 2012 for Delhi and Kolkata circles ... we request you to extend the period of our licence ...on terms to be mutually agreed.'
The clause 4.1 says 'the licensor may extend, if deemed expedient, the period of licencee by 10 years at one time, upon request of the licencee, if made during 19th year of the licence period on terms mutually agreed.' 'The decision of the licensor shall be final in regard to the grant of extension.'
