Adani Data Networks received a unified license for access services. This license enables Adani Data Network to provide all telecom services in the country, according to two official sources. This license permit was granted to Adani on Monday.
For the unversed, Adani Group has participated in the 5G spectrum mega auction that happened in July/August of this year. Now, Adani Data Networks, which is a unit of Adani Group, has finally been granted a unified license from the Department of Telecommunications in six circles, including Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Rajasthan, and Mumbai.
Essentially, a unified license implies it is now on the same page as other telcos like Jio and Airtel, and can launch wired or wireless services as and when desired. Adani Group entered the telecom sector after buying spectrum in the recent auction. “Adani Data Networks has been granted UL (AS),” an official source said.
As per the reports, the Adani Group is in plans to use the airwaves for its data centers as well as the super app it is building to support businesses from electricity distribution to airports and gas retailing to ports.
“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 digitization of its core infrastructure, primary industry, and B2C business portfolio,” the group had said in a statement.
