The second round of the 2G spectrum auction sale is expected to set up a flop show as there is no applicant for GSM band of radiowaves. While, for CDMA band, Russian Sistema's Indian joint venture, Sistema Shyam Teleservices (SSTL) is the only firm at close of deadline on Monday for applying to take part in the auction.
The government has planned to conduct auction for spectrum unsold in November auction along with spectrum that is held by operators whose licences are due for renewal in 2014. It will auction 15 MHz of radio waves each in Delhi and Mumbai in the 1800 Mhz band, currently used for 2G GSM services, as against 4.4 Mhz and 13.2 Mhz respectively released in these circles through quashed permits.
However, in the second round of auctions in March, the government is expected to get around Rs 25,316 crore from the auction in the premium 900 Mhz band, and Rs 14,579 crore from auction of unsold spectrum in the 1800 Mhz band, while for CDMA, it is expected to get over Rs 6463 crore.
