Three pvt telecom operators ideal for India: Sunil Mittal

A market with three private telecom companies is optimal for India, Bharti Enterprises chairman Sunil Mittal said on Thursday as debt-laden Vodafone Idea (Vi) got a financial lifeline allaying fears of a duopoly in the telecom sector. "My position has been consistent that three private operators are ideal for India," Mittal told ET. His comments come in the backdrop of Vi moving to secure its much-delayed funding.
