The government of India expects local operators to launch 5G service in some parts of the country by mid-August 2022, local newspaper Business Standard reported.
According to the report, a source with knowledge of the matter said that a limited 5G launch is possible by that date if the country’s Department of Telecommunications (DoT) provides clarity around available spectrum. The report also said the Indian telecom industry needs to be given an assurance that the reserve price for 5G spectrum would be reduced.
