@ksh@T 20 Report post Posted March 5, 2008 VADODARA: Idea Cellular Ltd, India's sixth-largest wireless telecoms firm, will invest Rs 1000 crore ($250 million) expanding its network in the western state of Gujarat, its chairman said on Wednesday. "We are looking at the market very carefully and plan to invest in expanding our network in Gujarat," Kumar Mangalam Birla told reporters at the opening of a hypermarket. Idea, part of conglomerate Aditya Birla Group, operates in 11 of India's 23 telecom zones. In January it formed an independent tower company with top mobile operator Bharti Airtel Ltd and Vodafone Plc to share 70,000 tower units. Declining call rates, cheaper handsets and expansion of networks into smaller towns and rural areas have helped Indian operators add about 8 million new users every month. lage raho birlabhai theese companies have tasted the sweet blood of indian customer and just wanna drink that only thats it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
