Airtel pips Adani in private 5G game, bags key external contract

Bharti Airtel on Thursday stole a march on Adani Group, bagging an external contract in the private 5G network space. The company did so by entering into an agreement with Tech Mahindra, wherein the two would deploy the new technology solution at Mahindra and Mahindra’s auto plant at Chakan in Maharashtra. This will make the Chakan plant the country’s first 5G-enabled auto manufacturing unit.
