Telcos may steer clear of Rcom spectrum to avoid clash with DoT

A cloud hangs over the Reliance CommunicationsNSE 0.00 % bankruptcy process, with lack of clarity over whether the resolution professional can sell its most valuable asset – spectrum.

Telcos may choose to steer clear of buying RCom’s airwaves – even if they are put up for sale – to avoid clashes with the telecom department over payment of spectrum-related dues and may prefer to buy spectrum from the upcoming auction, people handling the insolvency case said.
