Auction process to continue for mobile service spectrum

Spectrum for mobile services will continue to be given through the auction process, sources in the government told FE on Tuesday.

Any administrative allocation the government will make will be limited to areas like walkie-talkie for police organisations, radar for weather forecasting, radar and communication for ships, communication for space and satellite applications, communication and radar for Army, Air Force and Navy and PSUs like BSNL. The same has been clearly defined in the Telecom Act, 2023, officials said.
