Description

Punjab TATA DOCOMO, operating in the Punjab region of India, was a mobile network utilizing the MCC (Mobile Country Code) 405, which identifies India, and the MNC (Mobile Network Code) 42. TATA DOCOMO, a joint venture between Tata Teleservices and Japanese telecom giant NTT DOCOMO, aimed to provide innovative and customer-centric telecom solutions in the competitive Indian market, particularly focusing on data services and a youthful brand image. Although TATA DOCOMO eventually ceased operations and its spectrum was acquired by Bharti Airtel, its presence in the Punjab region left a mark on the mobile landscape, offering an alternative to established players like Vodafone Idea (formerly Vodafone and Idea merged) and Reliance Jio.

Focusing on GSM and later adopting 3G technologies, TATA DOCOMO in Punjab strived to offer reliable connectivity and competitive pricing. Their efforts contributed to the growing mobile penetration in the region, aligning with India's broader telecom revolution. While specific coverage details of TATA DOCOMO's 3G network in Punjab are hard to find today, given the network's sunset, its contribution to increasing competition pushed other operators to improve their service offerings and coverage footprint during that period. Unfortunately, 4G LTE was not widely deployed by TATA DOCOMO before they ultimately merged with Airtel, leaving a gap that Airtel filled following the acquisition.
