­Norway's Telenor has confirmed that it has submitted its application to be pre-qualified for India's reauction of the 1800Mhz spectrum that was reclaimed when the Supreme Court cancelled the 2008 GSM licenses.

The application was filed by Telewings Communication Services Private Limited, a fully owned Telenor Group company.

Telenor Group has indicated its interest to take part in the auction, and provided all necessary documents and financial guarantees requested to be eligible for participation in its application. A final decision on whether or not to participate will be made before the auction starts.

Telenor said that it continues its efforts to secure a new Indian partner and to obtain all necessary approvals to transfer Uninor assets into the new company.
