Telcos Battle Adani's Navi Mumbai Airport Over Network Access, Allege Monopoly

• Telecom companies seek government action against Navi Mumbai Airport (NMIAL) for blocking network access, alleging a "monopolistic arrangement."
• NMIAL, operated by Adani, is accused of refusing Right of Way (RoW) permission and demanding ₹92 lakhs/month per operator for its own network.
• Telcos claim NMIAL's demands are "exorbitant" and violate license terms, urging DoT intervention.
• NMIAL rejects allegations, accusing private telcos of "cartelization" and delaying rate agreements for its In-Building Solution (IBS).
• NMIAL states it has provided IBS infrastructure and BSNL is already testing it, welcoming individual TSPs to discuss rates.
