Kolkata: Telecom companies have called on the government for easier 5G spectrum<\/a> payment terms in the upcoming auction, Devusinh Chauhan<\/a>, minister of state for communications, told Lok Sabha Wednesday. This, even as a parliamentary panel on IT, headed by Congress MP Shashi Tharoor, voiced concerns around the delayed launch of 5G services<\/a> in India and also called on the regulator and the government to cut starting price of 5G<\/a> airwaves in the upcoming sale.

“Some TSPs have represented seeking easier payment terms for 5G spectrum,” Chauhan said in reply to a query in Parliament.

Both Vodafone Idea MD Ravinder Takkar<\/a> and Bharti Airtel CEO Gopal Vittal had recently underlined the need for the sector regulator and the telecom department to ensure easier 5G spectrum payment terms in the upcoming sale to ease financial stress for telcos<\/a>.

The Tharoor-led panel, in turn, said in a report that while its high time 5G services are rolled out in India in some specific use cases, “it does not see any progress in that direction”. In fact, the panel called on DoT to review all its policies relating to 5G so that the country isn’t left behind in the 5G race. It added that the current pricing of 5G spectrum is exorbitant compared to other countries, and accordingly, pushed for a pricing review.

India’s top telcos—Reliance Jio, Bharti Airtel and Vodafone Idea—in their recent submissions had urged the regulator to cut the starting price of 5G airwaves in the mid-band and 700 Mhz bands, by up to 95% and set low starting rates for the new frequencies to be put on sale. They have said this was critical for operators to get the financial headroom to invest top dollars in capital-intensive 5G mobile broadband networks.

Trai secretary V Raghunandan had on Tuesday told ET that the regulator would submit its much awaited recommendations on 5G airwaves pricing in a week to 10 days. The government wants to start the spectrum auction by May-June to facilitate roll out of the next-gen wireless broadband networks by August 15, the county’s Independence Day.

The government has earmarked a mix of mid-band airwaves in the 3.3-3.67 Ghz range, millimetre waves (26\/28 Ghz) and key sub-Ghz bands such as 600 Mhz and 700 Mhz for 5G services.

Replying to a supplementary question during Question Hour, Chauhan also said that the four companies have been allotted spectrum for conducting trials and added that the trials are expected to be completed soon. In parallel, the minister said that the telecom regulator TRAI has also been asked to give its recommendations related to the upcoming auction.<\/p><\/div>
