The government has allocated spectrum to Vodafone in all 14 service areas, where the telecom major won in November 2012 auction for Rs1,127.94 crore.
“The spectrum has been allocated to Vodafone on 18th June. After this, the Wireless 
Operating Licence will be issued to Vodafone,” official sources said.
Vodafone participated in the November 2012 auction to bid for additional spectrum.
The company acquired spectrum in Himachal Pradesh, Jammu & Kashmir, Kerala, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, North East, Orissa, Uttar Pradesh East and West, Punjab and West Bengal.
The company is second to get spectrum allocation among firms that participated in the November auction.
Videocon was the first company that received spectrum from DoT in March. Rest of the firms Airtel, Idea Cellular, and Telewings Communications (Uninor) which participated in the auction are yet to receive spectrum.
