Our first-of-its kind initiative of free life insurance to our customers on monthly incremental recharge has seen over 17 million enrollments and has enabled us to deliver full value for money keeping with our brand promise of ‘life full paisa vasool’.
Telenor’s network modernization program has also gained momentum and crossed its first milestone of 5000 sites fully modernized with advanced technology. The new network has delivered 30% higher efficiencies both on spectrum utilization and energy consumption. Telenor has deployed Lean GSM solution in 28 cities to increase coverage, reduce congestion and improve Internet speeds on its network.
