Challenges in the Telecom Spectrum Auction
The telecom spectrum auction in India faces challenges due to limited demand from telcos. The government's expectations of earning 96,000 crore rupees may fall short as it might only manage to secure 12,500 crore rupees this time, a minor fraction of the total value. Telcos are cautious in participating as they already possess sufficient spectrum from previous auctions with a minimal need for renewals. Additionally, the financial burden of high auction prices and limited demand contribute to the lackluster response to this year's auction.
