The government is likely to conduct the next round of spectrum auction around May-June this year, a top official said today.
“We will put all available spectrum for auction. The auctions will be held sometime in May-June,” Telecom Secretary Rakesh Garg said at FICCI-WBA Vision Forum.
The Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) has put out a consultation paper on a reference made by the government to suggest the base or floor price for all available airwaves for mobile services.
The government had pegged revenue from communication services for the current fiscal at Rs 42,865 crore, which includes upfront realisation from spectrum sale and licence fee.
According to an official source, the government will be able to meet the Budget target even without the auction.
