Govt plans to waive off spectrum usage charges on airwaves bought through auctions before September 2021, benefiting telecom companies like Vodafone Idea, Airtel, and Reliance Jio. This move will aid their 5G expansion and network enhancement efforts. Vodafone Idea may receive around Rs 8,000 crore in relief, while Elon Musk’s Starlink will still be taxed for its spectrum.
