DoT to receive 687 MHz of unused spectrum, says Jyotiraditya Scindia

The Union Cabinet has approved a one-time re-farming of unused mobile spectrum allocated to ministries, resulting in the Department of Telecommunications (DoT) receiving 687 MHz of spectrum, Telecom Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia said on Friday. The re-allocation will see DoT gaining 687 MHz of spectrum from other ministries, raising the total spectrum available for the telecom sector to 1,587 MHz.
