    Credits:

    The four subsidiaries set for merger include - Vodafone East, Vodafone South, Vodafone Cellular and Vodafone Digilink.

    Vodafone merger plans hit a roadblock

    Vodafone merger plans hit a roadblock
  • Vodafone first proposed the amalgamation of its subsidiaries in 2012.

    The merger plans hit a roadblock with the department of telecommunications (DoT) ruling that the merged entity would have to sign an undertaking to migrate to the new unified licence notified by the government.

    This meant that Vodafone would have to pay for the spectrum it already owns.

  • Information

    What is the Unified License?

  • The Unified License essentially delinks the licence from the spectrum and to migrate, Vodafone would have to pay for the spectrum and the licences separately, while the previous UASL (unified access services licences) were allotted to them with spectrum bundled.

  • Approval

  • Vodafone got conditional approval for the merger of its various entities from DoT on 8 December 2014, subject to certain payments.

    Vodafone however contended that such amounts were not payable to DoT.

    The DoT thereafter issued revised letter on 6 May 2015 seeking certain undertakings instead of payments for AGR (adjusted gross revenue) and spectrum usage charges.

    Vodafone filed a petition in Telecom Disputes Settlement and Appellate Tribunal (TDSAT) and the TDSAT passed an interim order on 19 October 2015 directing DoT to provisionally allow merger of licenses.​
