  • India's largest telecom spectrum auction by far is slated for 1 October, postponed from the previous date of 29 September.

    What is a spectrum auction?

    What is a spectrum auction?
  • A telecom spectrum auction refers to the licensing or sale of rights to different firms or parties by the government for transmitting telecommunication signals over certain frequencies.

    This is done through an auction system, enabling the government to sell the rights at the highest price in the market.

    This also permits the government to regulate access to scarce resources.

  • Reports stated that the telecom operators also suggested that the previously scheduled date for the auction, 29 September, fell during a period that was inauspicious.

    Since the Navratra festival starts on 1 October, the spectrum auction was rescheduled to accommodate the more auspicious time.

    During the auction, a whopping 2,354.55 megahertz of telecom frequencies will be put up for sale across different bands.
