Telecom connectivity may suffer in Uttar Pradesh on permission delays: DIPA

The Digital Infrastructure Providers Association (DIPA) on Monday said the telecom connectivity may suffer in Uttar Pradesh due to tower sealing and permission delays. As of date, more than 480 tower applications have been rejected by NOIDA and Ghaziabad Development Authority, DIPA said.

The association counts members such as Indus Towers, Summit Digitel, ATC, Ascend Telecom, Sterlite Technologies, among others.

DIPA’s members have received lot of rejection orders from NOIDA and Ghaziabad Development Authority stating that towers are not permitted to be installed in residential areas, location-based restrictions, and license fees.
