Adani Networks gets unified licence for telecom services in India
Adani Data Networks has received a unified licence from the Department of Telecommunications in six circles of Andhra Pradesh, Gujarat, Karnataka, Rajasthan, Tamil Nadu, and Mumbai. In the absence of such a license, Adani Group would have had to use the services of telecom operators to transfer data for which it has to pay carriage charges.
The company was earlier issued the letter of intent for a unified license. Now the company is eligible to carry out long-distance calls on its network and also offer internet services. The licence would also help the company with its data centre business where data needs to be transferred within the country as well as outside.
Previously, the Adani group had said in a statement, “The newly-acquired 5G spectrum is expected to help create a unified digital platform that will accelerate the pace and scale of the Adani group’s digitisation of its core infrastructure, primary industry and B2C business portfolio.”
In the 5G spectrum auctions, Adani Data Networks acquired the right to use 400MHz of spectrum in the 26GHz millimetre wave band for Rs 212 crore for 20 years.
