They don't need iptv on urgent basis for fiber/airfiber homes to acquire another DTH company fully. I think its a merger with another DTH company with share swap on the cards.

May be one company will run DTH business, while other company will run FTTH/Broadband/Telecom/IPTV business.

May be exchange/swap of businesses

Airtel saves money till date as fiber homes connected to its DTH for live tv, skips iptv. Now they are in a situation to divide fiber & DTH homes and stops hybid boxes and own DTH HD boxes for another reason (might be for merger with Tata play in coming months).

Stop of new box buying is a very big decision, even if they going to buy or sell, they will not take this too early and without any official announcement. I think there are some different reasons.

The biggest reason, I am seeing is "New Subsidiary". Recently Airtel announced separation of their DTH and other business. Now I think they are going to build a totally new subsidiary for DTH. Subsidiary means the company will have different board, CEO, Distribution etc. So Airtel maybe stopped new boxes but the new subsidiary will buy boxes and do business separately from Fiber and Telecom business of Airtel.
While Airtel(Telecom+Fiber) will not interfere in their business and also not use their DTH equipments, they will use iptv boxes for Fiber and Airfiber.

Example: Just Like Network18 is a subsidiary of Reliance but Nw18 has different CEO, Board, Financials, Distribution chain etc.

Yes buddy,i already mentioned the same earlier....Already new team has been announced and will come into effect from April 2025

Current DTH CEO appointed as Connected TV CEO, so they are targets connected home will be the higher revenue generation area comparing to DTH in future as more and more moved to connected tv from DTH.

Hope this deal will not follow Dish - d2h path

Buddy, they r focused on growing business in both segments....i have already explained about their strategy ti cater to requirements of diverse customer segments thru this expansion

Hope this deal will not follow Dish - d2h path

It will follow Reliance - Disney Star merger path and turn out to be immensely successful and game changer in the DTH / Connected Homes segment
