On the pan-India ISP license, Bansal said that the company is yet to receive the final approval from the Department of Telecom. Further, the company is planning to raise up to Rs 200 crore by diluting equity in the company to expand to five states, including Rajasthan, Punjab and Maharashtra.

"One we have ISP A licence, we are looking to expand our service in Rajasthan, Haryana, Punjab and Maharashtra. We are in talks with investors to raise over Rs 200 crore through equity dilution. We see opportunity to connect 15 crore homes through high speed broadband by 2018," Bansal told the wire service.
