India’s telecom industry urges government to cut spectrum costs and taxes ahead of 2026-27 budget to ensure sustainability and growth.
India’s telecom industry, through the Cellular Operators Association of India (COAI), is urging the government to cut spectrum prices, pause regulatory levies, and reduce GST on telecom fees ahead of the 2026-27 budget.
The group warns high costs are harming sector sustainability, stifling network expansion, and creating a liquidity crisis due to unutilized tax credits.
COAI calls for lowering license fees to 0.5%–1%, reducing GST on regulatory payments from 18% to 5%, and halting new levies until existing funds are spent.
The association stresses telecom’s foundational role in the economy and seeks shared responsibility between government and industry to support growth and digital connectivity.
