The government official, who declined to be named, did not give details of the zones.

A spokeswoman for Aircel could not be immediately reached for comments.

India's telecom ministry had previously issued similar "show-cause" notices to Etisalat's and Sistema's Indian mobile joint ventures and Idea Cellular for not meeting requirements in some of telecoms zones.

Companies are given 60 days to reply to such notices.

India's telecom regulator had recommended to the telecoms ministry to cancel a total 69 telecoms licences of companies for failing to meet network roll out requirements.
