Covid effect: Trai shelves plan to define tariff floors

Call it the pandemic effect or the tariff rise effect, but it seems the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (Trai) has shelved the idea of putting in place floor prices for data and voice tariffs to help the industry tide over its financial crisis.

Sources said that even the government, which had last year in November in the aftermath of the Supreme Court’s verdict on adjusted gross revenue dues pushed for the idea, is no more keen on it.
