The regulator has recommended cancelling 38 licenses of companies including the Indian joint ventures of Telenor, Sistema and Etisalat's for failing to meet network rollout requirements, the government said.
The TRAI also recommended cancelling 31 other licences "after legal examination"
The TRAI's recommendations are not binding, but the telecoms ministry has said it would send notices to companies that have been named by the regulator, asking them to defend their licences.
The cancellation recommendations include 10 licences held by Sistema Shyam Teleservices, eight of Telenor's India joint venture called Uninor, 14 of Loop Telecom, four of Aircel and two of Etisalat DB Telecom.
