The country’s top four telecom companies—Mukesh Ambani’s Reliance Jio, Sunil Bharti Mittal’s Bharti Airtel, Vodafone Idea, and Gautam Adani’s Adani Data Networks—participated in the spectrum sale, which was completed on Monday. Monday saw the release of bids totaling Rs 1,50,173 crore for 71% of the total 5G spectrum, according to the announcement made by telecom minister Ashwini Vasihnaw.
