Bharti Airtel acquired the Tata Teleservices business in 2019, when the company acquired 800Mhz spectrum in Andhra Pradesh (3.75MHz), Delhi (1.25MHz) and Mumbai (2.5MHz). But Airtel has not been able to use this network since then, as it is not useful compared to 5GHz. In such a situation, Airtel did not have the advantage of keeping this expensive spectrum. The validity of this spectrum is 14 years. In such a situation, Airtel has sold it to Jio. After this deal, Jio will be the only network, which will use 800 Mhz in 22 circles.
