Will Tata Play merger power Airtel's home services push?
Mint Mumbai
|March 04, 2025
This is a strategic move to monetize 5G investments beyond mobile tariff hikes, say analysts

Airtel's discussions to merge its DTH business with Tata Sons' Tata Play signal a deeper push into broadband, pay-TV, and enterprise connectivity. Analysts see the move as a strategic pivot to monetize its 5G investments beyond mobile tariff hikes. However, with the pay-TV business in structural decline and execution risks looming, the success of this expansion remains a key question.
