TRAI caps IP interconnection charges at Rs 42.3 lakh per port annually
The Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) has fixed an annual ceiling of ₹42.3 lakh per port for 10 Gbps internet protocol (IP)-based interconnection between telecom operators, as it seeks to modernise the regulatory framework governing network connectivity and move away from legacy technology.
The new charges will come into effect from January 1, 2027, according to the third amendment to the Telecommunication Interconnection (Port Charges) Regulations, 2026, notified on Monday.
