TRAI Proposes Regulatory Framework for Vehicle-to-Everything Communication in India

The Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) has released a consultation paper proposing a regulatory framework for Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X) communication to support connected mobility. The Department of Telecommunications has agreed in principle to allocate 30 MHz of spectrum in the 5.875-5.905 GHz band for V2X applications, with Cellular V2X (C-V2X) as the preferred technology. The framework aims to enable real-time communication between vehicles, infrastructure, and networks to enhance road safety and traffic management, with potential to reduce accidents significantly and improve transport efficiency.
