Bharti Airtel has said that Tata Teleservices customers will begin transitioning to its mobile network following the recently-announced takeover of Tata Group’s consumer mobile business by the company.
The first batch of the transition is being affected in circles of UP (West), Bihar, and West Bengal. All mobile customers of Tata Teleservices across all circles will gradually move over to the Airtel network, in the next few weeks.
“Starting today, Tata Teleservices customers will start transitioning to the Airtel mobile network under an Intra Circle Roaming (ICR) arrangement. These customers will have uninterrupted services on the Airtel network with their existing SIMs,” the company said in a filing to the Bombay Stock Exchange.
Airtel and Tata Group had recently announced that the Consumer Mobile Businesses of Tata Teleservices Limited and Tata Teleservices Maharashtra Limited will be merged into Airtel.
Meanwhile, shares of the company were trading at Rs 502.25 apiece, up 0.71 per cent from the previous close at 10:01 hours on BSE.
