COMMUNICATION Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia on Monday advocated for at least four telecom operators in the country, emphasizing that the telecom sector is very robust.

The minister noted that very few countries have four major players in their telecom markets, with India being one of them.
Following the Supreme Court's rejection of a curative petition filed by telecom service providers seeking a re-computation of their Adjusted Gross Revenue (AGR) dues, Scindia mentioned that supreme court orders need to be executed.
