Telecom major Bharti Airtel on Wednesday issued a clarification over a news report titled "Tata, Bharti Groups near Mega DTH Merger", mentioning that the matter is at a discussion stage only. "We wish to submit that Bharti Airtel Limited ('Airtel') and TATA Group are in bilateral discussions to explore a potential transaction to achieve a combination of TATA Group's Direct To Home ('DTH') business housed under Tata Play Limited, with Bharti Telemedia Ltd, a subsidiary of Airtel, in a structure acceptable to all parties. The above is at a discussion stage only," the Sunil Bharti Mittal-led telecom company stated in an exchange filing.
Airtel has also partnered with Ericsson 5G Core technology. "The collaboration will enable Airtel to seamlessly transition to a commercially live, full-scale 5G Standalone network over time, bringing the high-end capabilities of 5G to their customers," the telco said in a BSE filing.
