NEW DELHI (Reuters) - Vodafone Group Plc is hopeful of finding a solution to a more than $2 billion tax dispute with the Indian government, Analjit Singh, non-executive chairman of the British carrier's Indian unit said on Thursday.

Singh, who was speaking to reporters after meeting officials at India's finance ministry, did not elaborate.

Vodafone, the biggest corporate investor in India, has been fighting the tax demand from Indian authorities over its 2007 acquisition of mobile assets in the country.
