The target is also set to achieve an internet speed of 100 Mbps in rural areas so that a strong digital infrastructure can be created in rural India.

Approval of 687MHz spectrum refarming for 5G and 6G service

Communications Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia said in the program of the Cellular Operators Association on Friday that by the year 2030, 2000MHz spectrum will be required given the expansion of 5G service and the launch of 6G service, etc., whereas currently, 1100MHz spectrum is available in the country. Given this, the Cabinet has approved the refarming of the 687 MHz spectrum.

This refarming will be done from the spectrum available with various government ministries. Out of this 687 MHz spectrum, 328 MHz will be made available to telecom companies immediately through a spectrum auction. The availability of 687 MHz will make a total of 1587 MHz spectrum available and the remaining 413 MHz spectrum will also be made available ahead of time to meet the requirement of 2000 MHz spectrum by 2030.
