Chart updated with freshly allotted 4G/5G spectrum to BSNL in 700 MHz, 2500 MHz, 3300 MHz, and 26 GHz bands by the Union Cabinet today.

1. 600 MHz band remains completely vacant as the earlier reserved spectrum for BSNL (10 MHz) in the band has been swapped for an equal quantity in the 700 MHz band due to the readily available device ecosystem.
2. In the 2500 MHz band BSNL has been allotted 20 MHz each in Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata, Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, and Tamil Nadu circles and 10 MHz each in Maharashtra and Gujarat circles (Since Vi holds 30 MHz in these 2 circles leaving only 10 MHz for BSNL).
3. In the 3300 MHz band BSNL has been allotted 70 MHz in each of the 22 telecom circles.
4. In the 26 GHz band BSNL has been allotted 800 MHz Pan India except for Kerala circle where it has been allotted 650 MHz due to lack of available spectrum in the band as Vi had bid for a higher quantity of spectrum in this circle in the last auction.

BSNL has 5Mhz or 10Mhz in band 1?

 

[RummaanKhan]

10MHz B1 is deployed on some sites in some circles

 

[Esmail]

BSNL has 5Mhz or 10Mhz in band 1?

As per the operator wise spectrum holding details released by DoT before the last auction started BSNL had only 5 MHz Pan India in band 1. And after that there was no other official disclosure until today's, about allotment of fresh spectrum to BSNL. So I'm keeping it as 5 MHz in the chart, though BSNL may be using 10 MHz on certain sites unofficially where DoT has unsold spectrum available in the circle.

here comes strong third telco, which Bharat wanted from long time.and its end of CARTEL time.

and i hope atleast 2-3 companies will use this 5g and 4g spectrum for MVNO and CNPN to boost bsnl revenue.

Great news.

So the proposal of giving 10MHz of band 3 to MTNL (Delhi) is dropped as well, right.

One small change to be done in the chart, bro. The unsold Band 5 (850MHz) spectrum in Rajasthan circle has to be either 10MHz ; or the 5MHz of that band has to be allotted to BSNL, right ? --- I think once again this boils down to the confusion of Band 1 + 5 allocation to BSNL.

Again hats off to your hard work bro.

Yes rightly pointed out by you. The DoT had reserved that spectrum for BSNL but the fact that they didn't allot it to BSNL it points towards a shift in strategy. I'll go ahead and add it back to the unsold column (both bands 1 and 5) since it's likely they will put it up for auction next year.
If it had to be given to BSNL it probably would have been given yesterday along with the other spectrum.
