‘Upcoming spectrum auction may see lower competition among telcos’: Motilal Oswal report

New Delhi: The spectrum auction scheduled to start on March 1 may witness lower completion intensity among the telecom operators, said a report by Motilal Oswal Institutional Equities.

“The auction may see lower competitive intensity given the varied priorities of each player. VIL’s weak liquidity position may keep its interest low,” it said.

The report added that Bharti Airtel’s sub-GHz spectrum interest may largely be limited to 900MHz, while RJio’s renewal of 800MHz spectrum may not see much interest from rest of the players.
