The mop-up is likely to be made possible due to improving financial health of the telecom sector, leading to rise in licence fee and spectrum charges, while a good quantum of money will come from state-run Bharat Sanchar Nigam (BSNL) for its 5G spectrum payment. The company never participates in auctions but always pays a market-determined price for its spectrum needs.
The government is expected to achieve its revenue target of ₹1.2 lakh crore from the telecom sector in the next financial year, even without a major spectrum auction. The increasing financial health of the telecom sector, resulting in higher licence fees and spectrum charges, along with significant payments from state-run Bharat Sanchar Nigam (BSNL) for its 5G spectrum, is anticipated to contribute to the revenue goal. While a spectrum auction is planned, the response is predicted to be subdued as operators acquired sufficient airwaves in the August 2022 sale to meet their 5G requirements.
As per the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI)’s latest subscriber data, BSNL held a market share of 8.08% in October. In comparison, private sector telecom operators Reliance Jio and Bharti Airtel have a market share of 39.3% and 32.85%, respectively. Vodafone Idea’s market share is 19.6%.
The spectrum will be provided by BSNL using a public land mobile network (PLMN) and isolated allotment. LTTS will deploy equipment, applications, servers, technology and software
