“Idea aims to launch 4G services in Maharashtra, Kerala, Madhya Pradesh, Punjab, Haryana and Andhra Pradesh by the end of the current fiscal (FY16),” the telecom company’s management indicated in a conference call.
Idea owns 4G spectrum in the 1,800 Mhz in 10 circles and the plan is to extend the rollout as soon as possible.
“The company intends to roll out 4G services in 750 cities and towns across 10 circles in the first phase of rollout which is likely to be completed by the first half of calendar year 2016,” the management indicated.
“The company is looking to rollout a combined 30,000-35,000 3G and 4G cell sites over the next nine months to take its end-FY2016 3G/4G combined cell site footprint to around 60,000-65,000,” the management said. According to Kotak, this expansion would enhance its MBB population coverage to around 450 mn from the current 275 mn (excluding 3G intra-circle roaming).
