Indian operator Uninor closed down its mobile network in Mumbai on 16 February after the Supreme Court ordered all operators that did not win spectrum in the previous auctions to close down services immediately. Operations in six circles of Maharashtra and Goa, Gujarat, UP East, UP West, Bihar and Jharkhand and Andhra Pradesh will continue as spectrum for twenty years has already been secured. Uninor will sign roaming agreements with other operators. Uninor customers from Maharashtra, Goa, Gujarat and other circles will continue to be able to use their Uninor phones in Mumbai. Uninor will extend possible assistance to its employees in Mumbai for finding employment opportunities. In addition, outplacement agencies will be hired to secure placements outside the company. The company will engage with its business partners to evaluate the possibility of redeploying network infrastructure to other circles such as Maharashtra, Goa and Gujarat where Uninor operations are continuing.
