16. Summary
• Uninor would-be telecom companies that received 2G licenses in 2008. The method
chosen by the authorities to allocate these licenses has later been subject to
controversy as part of the 2G license allocation case. Licenses were awarded
through a first come-first served process, where eight companies belonging to the
Unitech Group were awarded telecom licenses. The licenses obtained by the telecom
arm of the Unitech Group were the basis for Telenor Group’s investment into the joint
venture.
• In February 2012, a special court consisting of two Supreme Court justices issued a
judgment in a public interest litigation (PIL) case connected to the 2008 allocation of
telecom licenses. The judgment directs the Indian telecom regulator, TRAI, to
recommend a process for re-allocation of the 121 licenses that were issued in 2008.
• Telenor Group on 21 February 2012 announced its intention to form a new entity in
India with which its Indian operations will be taken forward. This new entity will serve
as the platform to approach the upcoming auctions for fresh licenses as mandated by
the Supreme Court. The new entity will also seek requisite approvals from the FIPB
to allow Telenor Group to take up 74% ownership
