Telecom stocks ring loud on the likelihood of reconsideration of 2G spectrum auction recommendations

17 May 2012 Evaluate

Telecom stocks were seen ringing loud after reports surfaced that Telecom regulator, TRAI, may reconsider its recommendations on spectrum auction if the government insists the former in doing so. TRAI under its latest recommendations on spectrum auction has proposed, among other proposals, a reserve price of Rs 3,622 crore for 1 MHz pan-India spectrum, which is around 10 times higher than the price at which 2G licences were allocated in 2008 under the then Telecom Minister A Raja. However, the course of events would be principally decided by the Telecom Commission, the highest decision-making body of the communications ministry, which is scheduled to meet on May 24 to take a view on these proposals.
