\tIndia’s government accelerated plans to hold a 4G auction this year to raise much-needed funds as major operators lobbied for a quick sale as they experience a jump in network traffic amid the country’s strict lockdown measures, The Economic Times (ET) reported.<\/p>\n

Reliance Jio and Bharti Airtel advised the Department of Telecom (DoT) they require additional spectrum “as soon as possible”, the newspaper said.<\/p>\n

The planned auction, covering up to seven bands, is forecast to generate as much as INR4 trillion ($53 billion) for the government, which is facing a surge in spending due to the Covid-19 (coronavirus) outbreak, ET wrote.<\/p>\n

The auction date can be set once a draft proposal from DoT is approved by the Cabinet.<\/p>\n

While as much as 2,475MHz of 4G spectrum is forecast to go on sale, much of it won\u2019t be sold as the debt-laden operators will likely be selective as they look to boost capacity in specific areas. Vodafone Idea is not expected to be a major bidder due to its financial troubles.<\/p>\n

5G delay
\nMeanwhile a 5G spectrum auction is now tipped to be delayed [1] until 2021 due to the poor financial health of the industry and worries the reserve price is too high to attract interest.<\/p>\n

Both sales were originally scheduled to be held in 2019, but pushed to 2020 [2] as the DoT had not finalised the pricing or amount of spectrum to be allocated.<\/p>\n

In August 2019, the Confederation of Indian Industry warned [3] the high reserve price set for the 5G auction would put additional downward pressure on mobile operators\u2019 already sinking ARPU and slow growth of the sector.<\/p>\n
