The Adani Group, while commenting on the move, said that it does not intend to be in the customer mobility space. As India is preparing to offer 5G services through this auction, the firm is among the many applicants participating in the open bidding process.

The firm is part of the 5G spectrum auction for delivering private network solutions along with augmented cyber security in the ports & logistics, airport, power generation, distribution and transmission and several manufacturing operations, said Adani Group in a media statement.
