India to auction digital radio bands in 13 cities, with FM stations able to switch to digital.
India's telecom regulator TRAI has recommended auctioning digital radio frequency bands in 13 major cities, including Delhi, Mumbai, and Bengaluru, under the 2023 Telecommunication Act.
Existing FM broadcasters may voluntarily migrate to simulcast mode within six months, paying the difference between auction prices and their remaining licence fees.
Simulcast operations must begin within two years.
A 4% annual authorisation fee based on adjusted gross revenue applies, reduced to 2% for three years in remote areas.
TRAI urges adoption of a single digital radio technology standard to ensure uniformity, with the government to finalize the choice through consultations or the auction process.
The recommendations follow a 2024 consultation process with stakeholder input.
