Bid in satellite spectrum not feasible: Scindia

NEW DELHI: A day after Congress leader Jairam Ramesh raised concerns over the government’s decision to administratively allocate satellite spectrum in the country, communications minister Jyotiraditya Scindia on Tuesday defended the move, saying that satellite spectrum is neither suitable nor practical for auction.

In a post on social media platform X, Scindia explained the technical reasons behind the decision, emphasising that satellite spectrum is inherently shareable and thus can’t be effectively auctioned.
