The government is likely to have mopped up a modest over Rs 11,300 crore from second 5G spectrum sale, which ended after seven rounds around 11.30 am Wednesday (June26) — lasting just over a day. The total bids received is more or less the same, as what came in on Tuesday (June 25), sources said, adding only 140-150MHz are estimated to have been sold.
