TRAI Releases Consultation Paper on Radio Frequency Spectrum Auction for IMT
The Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) has released a consultation paper regarding the auction of radio frequency spectrum for International Mobile Telecommunications (IMT). This follows a reference from the Department of Telecommunications (DoT) seeking recommendations on various frequency bands. TRAI had previously provided recommendations, leading to spectrum auctions in June 2024 for several bands. The 600 MHz band was excluded due to underdeveloped equipment ecosystems and limited global deployment, with DoT seeking fresh recommendations before considering its auction. Availability of the 700 MHz spectrum is also partially fragmented.
