The long-awaited 5G spectrum auction is expected to be held in May this year if TRAI submits by March its recommendations on the rules
The long-awaited 5G spectrum auction is expected to be held in May this year if the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) submits by March its recommendations on the rules regarding the sale process, according to a senior official of the telecom department.
Telecom Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw earlier this month had said that TRAI is expected to submit its recommendations for the 5G auction by March and the department of telecommunications (DoT) is simultaneously firming up other processes to hold the auction at the earliest.
"TRAI has indicated that they will send it (recommendations) by March. Thereafter, it will take us a month to make a decision around it," telecom secretary K Rajaraman said.
Earlier, the government had taken time of 60-120 days to start the bidding rounds in the auction after receiving recommendations from TRAI on spectrum auction.
