NEW DELHI: The Department of Telecommunication (DoT) has granted Adani Data Network a unified licence for access services, which enables it to provide all telecom services in the country.
As per the report, the Gautam Adani-led firm got the licence on Monday. Adani Data Networks Ltd (ADNL), a unit of Adani Enterprises, has acquired the right to use 400MHz of spectrum in the 26GHz millimetre wave band worth `212 crore for 20 years in the recent 5G spectrum auction.
The firm had denied its intent to enter into the telecom sector and has bought the spectrum for setting up its private 5G network.
“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,” the group had said in a statement.
