Hyderabad (PTI): Aircel on Thursday rolled out its GSM mobile services in Hyderabad, marking its presence all over the southern India with the roll out.
"With a subscriber base of over 17 million, Aircel, the fifth largest service provider in the country, has rolled out its 13th circle with Hyderabad completing its footprint in southern India," Aircel Chief Operating Officer Gurdeep Singh told reporters here.
The Hyderabad launch augments the next phase of our pan India roll-out, Singh said.
To address the need of a high migrant population from various parts of the country including a large number of students, we are offering free incoming on Aircel to Aircel roaming in the southern corridor and STD at Rs one per minute from Aircel in Hyderabad to all metros, he added.
"While the mobile penetration in Hyderabad is approximately 80 per cent, there are a lot of segment-based needs that an operator can fulfill for better consumer satisfaction," Singh said.
Aircel plans to invest Rs 1,000 crore in two phases for its expansion. In the first phase, the telecom operator will invest Rs 500 crore in infrastructure, data centres, offices. And in the second phase, the end of the year, an additional Rs 500 crore more will be invested.
