Bharti Airtel and its subsidiary Bharti Hexacom Limited are set to acquire usage rights for the entire 400 MHz spectrum from Adani Data Networks in the 26 GHz band. This acquisition involves regions such as Gujarat, Mumbai, Andhra Pradesh, Rajasthan, Karnataka, and Tamil Nadu.

In a strategic move, Bharti Airtel, together with its subsidiary Bharti Hexacom Limited, is positioned to secure the entire 400 MHz spectrum from Adani Data Networks.
