The Department of Telecom (DoT) on Tuesday said that it had received applications from Gautam Adani-led Adani Data Networks, as well as from established telcos — Reliance Jio Infocomm, Bharti Airtel and Vodafone Idea — to participate in the upcoming spectrum auctions.
The applications had been submitted to participate in auctions of right to use of spectrum in the 600 MHz, 700 MHz, 800 MHz, 900 MHz, 1800 MHz, 2100 MHz, 2300 MHz, 2500 MHz, 3300 MHz and 26 GHz bands, the DoT said. A total of 72,097.85 MHz of spectrum worth at least ₹4.3 lakh crore will be put on the block during the auctions, set to commence on July 26.
The DoT, however, added that the applications were still being reviewed.
