"Telenor Group confirms that subsequent to receiving approvals, it has made additional investments in India. With this, Telenor Group's ownership in the Indian company Telewings now stands at 74%," it said in a statement. Telewings Communications offers services under the Uninor brand in India.
The Norwegian firm said it plans to be a long term investor in India. "This means that we will continue to expand and strengthen our operations in India while remaining the operator that has the lowest tariffs ".
Earlier this month, the company completed transfer of its business assets from Uninor, the Indian joint venture with real estate major Unitech Ltd, to Telewings Communications.
