Spectrum auction is unlikely to be held this fiscal due to delay in recommendations over pricing from the regulator TRAI, official sources said.
The government had pegged revenue from communication services, that include upfront realization from spectrum sale and licence fee, at Rs 42,865.62 crore for the current fiscal.
"The Department of Telecom needs between 120-180 days to prepare for auction after spectrum pricing recommendations are received from the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI)," a DoT official said.
The official said introduction of new guidelines like sharing and trading of spectrum along with proposal on frequency cap will also have impact on new rules which need time for deliberation after recommendations from the regulator are received.
