"The impact of exit cost was less compared to forex losses" Savchenko said.

SSTL had to close down business in 13 out of 22 circles as a consequence of Supreme Court order which cancelled 122 2G telecom licences , including 21 of SSTL, in February 2012.

Sistema Shyam won spectrum in 8 circles in March through auction to continue its operations but government is yet to allocate the airwaves frequencies that it acquired.
