Uninor which closed down its operation in Mumbai said that it has started the balance refund process in Mumbai and would immediately begin offering porting codes to its Mumbai subscribers.

“Till Sunday, Uninor has already disbursed an approximate amount of over Rs. 4 lacs as refunds. This initiative is now being publically announced and scaled up” it said in a statement.

Uninor closed down its operations in Mumbai after midnight on February 16 after the Supreme Court on Friday ordered all operators that did not win spectrum in the previous auctions to close down services immediately.

Last month Uninor had said that it would be difficult for it participate in the bid for Mumbai, if the reserve price for 1800 Mhz spectrum is not brought down by atleast 50%.

Terming this exercise as an unprecedented in scale, the company said that it seeks the cooperation of all its subscribers in Mumbai to help conduct the refund process in an orderly manner.

“Uninor has deployed its entire staff from the Mumbai circle as well as moved resources from each of its operating circles across India and the corporate headquarters to manage and implement the refund process in Mumbai”, it said.
