DoT asks Adani Group to let telcos deploy network at Navi Mumbai airport

New Delhi: The department of telecommunications (DoT) has stepped in to solve the network crisis at Navi Mumbai International Airport (NMIA), asking operator Adani Group to allow telecom companies to deploy network at the airport in accordance with the law.

In a 16 February letter to Adani Airport Holdings Ltd, the DoT said NMIA qualifies as a ‘public entity’ under the Telecom Act, 2023, and therefore must allow carriers to deploy the network.
