Aircel holds license and spectrum for service roll-out in all 23 telecom circles in the country, of which Kolkata has been the tenth and latest addition -- effectively completing Aircel's eastern region footprint. Apparently, the company has 13 more circles to cover to have a pan-India presence.
The mobile operator already boasts a total subscriber base of 10.8 million, and a market share of 18.2 percent; it is optimistic on the Kolkata circle as mobile penetration is lowest in that city among all metro circles. Statistically speaking, the penetration in Kolkata is 45 percent while in Delhi it is 105 percent, Mumbai 93 percent, and Chennai 87 percent.
