The Telenor Group has surpassed the 200-million mobile subscriber mark across Asia, Europe and the Nordics.

Sharad Mehrotra, CEO, Telenor India, said, “We at Telenor India are proud to be the leading contributor of subscriber growth adding over five million customers in the last 11 months. With a strong position on being the most affordable service provider we have attracted the mass market customers and managed to be the fourth biggest in revenue and customer market share in the circles we operate.”

Among Telenor’s business units, India contributes over 24% of its total customer base. It had launched mobile services here in 2009, and is commercially available in six circles covering 50% of India’s population.

Earlier this year, Telenor changed its brand name from Uninor and has also launched an industry first initiative of offering free life insurance to its customers.

“Today, Telenor is in the hands of over 200 million people from Malaysia to Norway. Telenor´s early explorers of the 1990s aspired to bring the benefits of mobile communications to everyone, but they could hardly have imagined the impact we witness now. Today, our vision goes beyond putting a phone in every hand. We envision an internet for all, and with it all the opportunities that a digital life brings,” said Sigve Brekke, President and CEO of Telenor Group.

The Telenor Group is present in 13 markets across Asia and Europe. The company entered Hungary 21 years ago and established its first Asian operation in 1996.

As of the third quarter 2015, Telenor Group’s six Asian operations generated more than 50 percent of the group’s total revenues and Norway and the rest of Europe about 20 percent each.
