Real estate developer Unitech spurted 13.08% to Rs 29.40, with the stock extending Friday's 3.59% gains. Norway's Telenor ASA today, 6 February 2012, warned that it has the option to quit its India business if efforts fail to find a solution to the problems arising from a Supreme Court order cancelling the company's telecom licenses. But, as of now, Telenor doesn't plan to slow its operations in India, Sigve Brekke, executive vice president and head of Asian operations, told reporters. Telenor--which runs a telecom joint venture called Unitech Wireless--is now in talks with the telecom regulator and the government to decide on the way forward. The Supreme Court last week ordered the cancellation of 122 telecom licenses, including 22 belonging to Unitech Wireless, saying their allocation in 2008 was an arbitrary and unconstitutional exercise, which facilitated corruption. The order will be effective in four months. Unitech, last week, said that the Supreme Court verdict pertains to the telecom venture Uninor, which was issued 2G licenses in accordance with the government policy. Unitech is separate entity from Uninor and it will continue to focus on its real estate business, the company said. The Unitech stock topped the gainers in the BSE's 'A' group.
