London, <keyword id="19994374" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="bharti" source="keywords">Bharti</keyword> Enterprises Founder and Chairman <keyword id="20035984" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="sunil-bharti-mittal" source="keywords">Sunil Bharti Mittal</keyword> on Wednesday became the first Indian citizen to be conferred an honorary <keyword id="20763363" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="knighthood" source="keywords">Knighthood</keyword> by Britain's King Charles III "for services to UK and India business relations". In a list of honorary British awards unveiled by the UK Cabinet Office, <keyword id="20134935" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="mittal" source="keywords">Mittal</keyword> receives a KBE under the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire - one of the highest honours conferred by a British monarch. The 66-year-old entrepreneur said in a statement that he was "deeply humbled" by the gracious recognition from King Charles. "The UK and India have historical relations, which are now entering a new era of increased cooperation and collaboration. I remain committed to working towards strengthening the economic and bilateral trade relationships between our two great nations," Mittal said. "I am thankful to the government of the UK, whose support and keen attention to the needs of business has been critical in making the country an attractive investment destination," he said. The KBE, conferred for a pre-eminent contribution in any field of activity, is awarded in an honorary capacity to foreign nationals. While the Knighthood conferred on UK nationals gives them the title of Sir or Dame, non-UK nationals awarded the honour add KBE (or DBE for women) after their name. Previous Indian recipients of the Honorary KBE include Ratan Tata (2009), Ravi <keyword id="20006262" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="shankar" source="keywords">Shankar</keyword> (2001) and Jamshed Irani (1997), conferred by the late Queen Elizabeth II. The investiture ceremony will be conducted by the British High Commissioner to India at a later date, when he will formally hand over the royal insignia to Mittal. The honour recognises Bharti Enterprises' work within the India-UK space, including with the UK government in the field of satellites. Sunil Bharti Mittal led the revival of OneWeb (now Eutelsat), leading a consortium with the UK government and other strategic investors to offer satellite broadband services globally, a company statement notes. Mittal has a strong connection with the UK, as a member of the India-UK CEO Forum and has previously been awarded the Honorary Doctor of Civil Law from Newcastle University and an Honorary Doctor of Laws from the University of Leeds. He is also a member of the Vice Chancellor's Circle of Advisors at the University of Cambridge. Additionally, Sunil Bharti Mittal has served on the Governing Body of the London Business School (LBS) and as a Member of the India Advisory Group at the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE). In 2019, Bharti's Airtel Africa was listed on the London Stock Exchange and is a constituent of the FTSE100 Index.

Mittal credited this achievement to the successful collaboration with ISRO (Indian Space Research Organisation), stating, "With your intervention, we were able to get two rockets GSLV Mk 3 from ISRO to launch 72 satellites last year." He went on to unveil the ground-breaking OneWeb constellation, in which Bharti holds the largest stake, now poised to serve both the nation and the entire world. Starting next month, India will witness an unprecedented era of connectivity, as Mittal proudly announced, "Anybody anywhere in the country, however remote or far or in difficult areas, can be connected from our Satellite ground station that has been set up in Mehsana, Gujarat." This technological advancement in satellite communication promises to bridge the digital divide in India, connecting even the most isolated regions, fostering development, and transforming the way the nation communicates. Mittal's announcement marks a pivotal moment for India's technological landscape, opening up a world of possibilities for connectivity, communication, and progress. The Chairman of Bharti Enterprises also spoke about how India's digital infrastructure can accelerate the World economy.

Led by <keyword id="6354504" type="General" weightage="100" keywordseo="reliance-jio" source="Orion">Reliance Jio</keyword>, the mega <keyword id="764355" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="5G" source="Orion">5G</keyword> spectrum auction ended on Monday after receiving record bids worth over Rs 1.5 lakh crore in 40 rounds spanning across seven days. 5G airwaves worth Rs 1,50,173 crore has been sold so far and the final tally is being prepared by the government, according to sources. Day six of the 5G spectrum auction on Sunday saw an incremental increase in the bidding figure after 37 rounds, with bids worth Rs 1,50,130 crore. According to industry analysts, Reliance Jio has placed bids for more than Rs 84,500 crore, while <keyword id="15491" type="General" weightage="50" keywordseo="airtel" source="Orion">Airtel</keyword>'s bids are worth more than Rs 46,500 crore. Vodafone Idea has placed bids of around Rs 18,500 crore, while a unit of <keyword id="118623" type="General" weightage="50" keywordseo="adani-enterprises" source="Orion">Adani Enterprises</keyword> has bids of around Rs 5,000 crore. Jio and Airtel were fiercely engaged in intense bidding in <keyword id="3829976" type="General" weightage="50" keywordseo="uttar-pradesh-east" source="Orion">Uttar Pradesh East</keyword> circle for the 1800MHz band. Devroop Dhar, Co-founder and board member, Primus Partners, said the auction stands testimony to the fact that the industry is willing and ready to expand further than ever before. "That is also the reason behind the key players finally going for the 700MHz bands. The 40 per cent cut down of the bands for Rs 3,927 crore per unit acted as an aid for the bidders," Dhar said. The expansive 700MHz band is built to cover densely populated regions such as India, which will truly benefit from this band and receive expansive 5G coverage. "As the bidding has been much higher than the previous auctions, the amount generated will add positively to the revenue and will help the government in the future while setting up the 5G infrastructure," Dhar added. While Reliance Jio may have an upper hand in terms of bundled handsets and their investments, other industry players also have an opportunity to compete in the industry as according to studies, Indian consumers claim to be willing to pay 50 per cent more for 5G-bundled plans. "Hence, the companies need to find an incentive to get their customers upgrade to 5G devices," Dhar said.
