Why can't I see the data network mode while roaming in India on my Nexus 6p?

Can't see the data network mode while roaming in India on nexus 6p.

This is quite unusual since the same data network displays LTE while roaming on iPhone but on nexus 6p it just says R. I have subscribed to 4G/LTE and thus need to know which network band I'm on while roaming. When I'm in my home city network it does display LTE. I'M in India and the carrier is Airtel. Appears to be an android or 6p issue since no problems with iphone.

I'm not sure, but you might use a app called SignalCheck Lite on the PlayStore... it works good for me on Project Fi to see what Provider tower I'm seeing since it switches between Sprint and T-Mobile here in the US.
