Adani Data Networks to Transfer 400 MHz Spectrum to Bharti Airtel

Adani Data Networks has secured DoT approval to transfer 400 MHz of 5G spectrum to Bharti Airtel.
The spectrum lies in the 26 GHz millimeter wave band, crucial for high-speed 5G services.
The move is seen as part of Adani’s exit from non-core telecom assets.
Bharti Airtel will use the spectrum to strengthen its urban and enterprise 5G coverage.
Industry analysts see the deal as a strategic win for Airtel.
It marks the first major telecom spectrum transfer since the 2022 auctions.
Adani had acquired the spectrum to build a private network portfolio.
Bharti is likely to pay a lump sum amount for the spectrum rights.
The telecom department confirmed all regulatory clearances were granted.
The deal will boost Airtel’s enterprise solutions and latency-sensitive services.
