Telecom relief package: With easing of spectrum caps, is worst over for Telcos?

After the change in rules, telecom companies can now own 35% of spectrum sold by the government, up from the 25% limit earlier.

Further, the intra-circle band has been totally removed and, instead, the 50% cap will now apply to the combined spectrum holdings in the sub-1 GHz band — that is 700, 800 and 900 MHz bands. The change in rules allows for the Idea-Vodafone combine to retain the spectrum, which it would have had to otherwise surrender in case it exceeded the limit in certain circles. Further, this also potentially allows Reliance Jio to buy the rest of the spectrum owned by his brother Anil Ambani’s Reliance Communications Ltd (RCom), especially in the coveted 800MHz band.

If Reliance Jio were to buy all of RCom’s spectrum in the 800MHz band under the previous spectrum-holding norms, it would have breached caps in 11 telecom circles.
