Blackstone backs Neysa with $1.2B for India AI infrastructure

Blackstone backs Neysa with $1.2B for India AI infrastructure
Blackstone will take a majority stake in Neysa through up to $600 million in primary equity, alongside Teachers’ Venture Growth, TVS Capital, 360 ONE Asset, and Nexus Venture Partners; the company also plans up to $600 million in debt to accelerate buildout. The raise is a step change from Neysa’s earlier $50 million and positions the Mumbai-headquartered startup to scale domestic GPU clusters for enterprises, public sector agencies, and AI developers.

Union Budget: COAI seeks telecom spectrum and levy reform

Union Budget: COAI seeks telecom spectrum and levy reform
With the Union Budget around the corner, the Cellular Operators Association of India (COAI) is asking for a structural fix to spectrum pricing, statutory levies, and GST that is designed to restore sector health and accelerate digital infrastructure build-out. COAI’s agenda centers on spectrum affordability, regulatory levy rationalization, and GST reform to unlock liquidity frozen as input tax credit. COAI argues for spending the sizable unused corpus first, holding the DBN levy in abeyance, and trimming license fees to roughly 0.5–1% to cover administrative costs. Cutting GST on regulatory payments from 18% to 5% would reduce the pace of new ITC build-up and meaningfully ease liquidity pressure.

Google AI Plus under $5 in India vs ChatGPT Go

Google AI Plus under $5 in India vs ChatGPT Go
Google has introduced a sharply priced AI Plus subscription in India to push generative AI into the mass market and counter OpenAI’s ChatGPT Go. The AI Plus plan launches at ₹199 per month for new users for six months, then moves to ₹399 per month. The bundle raises usage limits for Gemini 3 Pro, unlocks video generation within Google’s apps, expands NotebookLM’s “deep research” capabilities, and adds 200GB of storage across Google Photos, Drive, and Gmail. Family sharing is included, signaling a household-centric growth strategy.

Jio IPO: Tariff Hike Timing, Airtel RMS, 5G Outlook

Jio 2026 IPO: Impact on 5G, Capex, ARPU, and India’s Digital Market
Reliance Jio’s path to a mid-2026 IPO is increasingly intertwined with the timing and magnitude of India’s next mobile tariff hike. Domestic brokers argue Jio has a tactical reason to push back on near-term tariff increases: hikes tend to accelerate Bharti Airtel’s revenue market share (RMS) gains more than Jio’s, narrowing the lead at the worst possible time for an IPO. Airtel has been the key beneficiary of previous price actions, chipping away at Jio’s RMS advantage by almost two percentage points since mid-2024. On current assumptions, Jio is informally pegged around $153 billion, implying an EV/EBITDA multiple near the low teens.

India’s DoT spectrum sharing rules for 5G

INDIA NEARS POSITION AS TOP TWO GLOBAL 5G ECOSYSTEM: MINISTER ASHWINI VAISHNAW
The Indian government has floated draft rules that refine how mobile operators can share spectrum, aiming to boost spectral efficiency and accelerate 5G expansion under the new telecommunications regulatory framework. The draft rules seek to formalize spectrum sharing under the new regime, giving operators a clearer pathway to pool or share spectrum holdings while ensuring compliance with license conditions. In practical terms, telcos would gain a more predictable mechanism to use underutilized spectrum, improve coverage, and optimize capacity without always resorting to new auctions or heavy capex.
