At a reserve price of Rs 5.98 crore per MHz, the spectrum is worth Rs 17,940 crore. The spectrum is over 14% cheaper at reserve price when compared to 26 Ghz band, which is also mmWave band and was auctioned in 2022. In the 2024 auction, there were no takers for 26 GHz band due to lack of device ecosystem.
Experts, however, feel that spectrum in 37-37.5 GHz and 37.5-40 GHz have a much better ecosystem, particularly because the US had already rolled out 5G services in the band.
The Department of Telecommunications (DoT) will take a call on when to conduct the next auction.
Trai has proposed that in addition to mobile operators, internet service providers (Category 'A' and Category 'B'), and M2M service providers (Category 'A' and Category 'B') under the unified license, should also be permitted to participate in the upcoming auction.
