According to VIL’s statement, they entered the auction holding the largest quantum of the spectrum with a very small fraction, which was administratively allocated and used for GSM services, coming up for renewal. They told that they have used this opportunity to optimize spectrum holding post-merger to create further efficiencies in few circles. However, they haven’t specified the exact quantum of the spectrum they have acquired. They also did not divulge any financial details.

As the industry readies itself to deploy 5G technology with India-specific use cases. They hope that a large quantum of spectrum in globally harmonized bands will be available to operators in the future at fair prices to allow operators to have the ability to rapidly roll out networks.
