Breaking Telecom Spectrum auction 2024 to begin on 6th June

[Esmail]

On February 8, the Union Cabinet approved the auction of 10,523.15 megahertz (MHz) of spectrum across bands at a reserve price of Rs 96,317.65 crore. All unsold spectrums from the last sale will be up for bidding again. Airwaves in the 800, 900, 1800, 2100, 2300, 2500, 3300 MHz and 26 GHz bands, covering a large chunk of voice and data spectrum, are up for sale.

While the live e-auction of airwaves across major spectrum bands will be held 73 days from now, a long timeline of steps leading up to it has been released by the DoT. This includes the pre-qualification of bidders on May 6, the inauguration of the final list of bidders on May 9, and a mock auction on May 13 and 14, the DoT notice said.

Spectrum auctions for eight bands to start on 20 May 2024, says DoT

Where is 600 and 700 MHz bands?

Where is 600 and 700 GHz bands?

Its MHz not GHz and 600 MHz is not being auctioned since the ecosystem for that band is not mature yet and there is no demand for it from the operators.
As for 700 MHz band (Total bandwidth 45 MHz) DoT has access to only 20 MHz out of which 10 MHz is with Jio and 10 MHz is reserved for BSNL. Of the remaining 25 MHz, 10 MHz is reserved for Indian railways, 5 MHz for RRTS and Metro rail, and 10 MHz for Defence use. So practically 700 MHz band is full as of now.

What jio says is correct. 2G network must be shutdown in India.
