5G telecom services will be made available in India from October 2022 onwards and the industry would decide on the pricing structure, Union Communications Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw said on Saturday.
“As soon as spectrum auction ends, within a few days itself, we will allocate the auctions. We expect that the rollout will happen starting in October, and within a year or so, we should have a good rollout of 5G in the country,” he said at a press conference after addressing an investors’ summit.
Stating that the 5G rollout all over the world has been slow, he said, “We believe that we will probably buck the trend of having a much faster rollout of 5G compared to many other geographies since our other costs are significantly under control.”
