The Department of Telecom has sought about ₹5,600 crore from Reliance Communications for liberalising 800 Mhz spectrum in 16 circles.
According to sources, the DoT had issued a notice on December 22 and asked RCom to pay within a month.
RCom had applied for liberalising its 800 MHz spectrum in 20 circles a few months back. The company, though is yet to receive any notice for the remaining four circles, where market determined price is not available.
The four circles are — Kerala, Karnataka, Rajasthan and Tamil Nadu. The DoT had already sought TRAI’s views on liberalisation of spectrum in circles where market determined price is not available.
