India Mobile Congress 2018: India’s telecom sector attracts high levies just “like tobacco industries” and this issue needs to be resolved as soon as possible, Bharti Airtel Chairman Sunil Mittal said Thursday. High spectrum, GST and license charges are the biggest roadblocks to Modi ‘Digital India’ mission, he added. Speaking at the inaugural session of India Mobile Congress 2018, Mittal also said, “There is also one overarching objective of previous policy and also enshrined in NDCP that revenue maximisation is not the objective…Then why operators and Department of Telecom are under litigation for revenue maximisation.” ALSO LIKE OUR FACEBOOK PAGE: https://www.facebook.com/latestgstnews/ There is a consolidation in the telecom space globally and in India too, there was a need for consolidation in the sector, he expressed.

We can solve the largest unsolved problems facing humanity… right here in India,” he said. |
