Anil Ambani welcomes Vodafone February 12, 2007 12:04 IST "We congratulate Vodafone and welcome them to India. Vodafone's participation is a further endorsement of the exciting future growth potential, and the progressive policies, prevailing in the Indian telecom sector," Ambani said in a statement.
