Ministry of Communications and IT today said the provisional bid value on Tuesday i.e. day seven of the spectrum auction reached Rs 92,200 crore — indicating a drop from Monday’s bid value of Rs 94,000 crore.
The number of rounds on Tuesday was 6, while the total number of bids was 37.
The drop in provisional bid value was because some telecom operators switched their preferred frequencies, said an IANS report.
The spectrum auction norms allow a bidding company to forgo its bid for a particular band made earlier to a new band if it is seen that such a switch would prove beneficial, financially and in terms of spectrum management.
There was activity in two new service areas in 1,800 MHz band. There is a shift in activity from 2,100 MHz and 900 MHz bands to 1,800 MHz and 800 MHz bands.
At present, over 83 percent spectrum has been provisionally allocated to bidders at a value of approximately Rs 92,200 crore.
Majority of the service areas are going at a premium over the reserve price. With 100 percent activity requirement and activity in new service areas, the competitive bidding is expected to continue.
Telecom service providers such as Reliance Jio Infocomm, Reliance Communications, Idea Cellular, Vodafone India, Aircel, Uninor, Tata Teleservices and Bharti Airtel are participating at the March 2015 spectrum auction.
The Indian government is aiming to mobilize more than Rs 100,000 crore by selling spectrum in the 2100, 1800, 900 and 800MHz bands.
The following data is shared by the Department of Telecommunications (DoT).
