Since the Adani Enterprises<\/a> unit was not a licensee when it participated in the spectrum auction, the company must get a licence now to fulfil regulatory requirements.
Getting a universal access services licence will allow Adani Data Networks to offer mobility services in all the six circles if it wants. However, the company denied any plans to enter consumer mobility. \"Please note that our intention is not to be in the consumer mobility space,\" the Adani Group<\/a> said in response to ET's query. The company also gave reference to an earlier statement that said it bought the airwaves for setting up its private networks.
The company has bought 400 MHz spectrum in the 26 GHz band (millimetre wave band) for ₹212 crore. It got 100 MHz each in Gujarat and Mumbai and 50 MHz each in Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Rajasthan and Tamil Nadu.

Getting a licence is a requisite for the company since it has won the spectrum in the auction. As per the notice inviting application (NIA) released before the start of the auction, only those companies were eligible to participate that either have a licence or give an undertaking to take a licence after the auction.
Adani was the only new entrant in the 5G<\/a> spectrum auction, conducted from July 26 to August 1.
