Reliance Jio ended up being the highest bidder as it acquired 24740 MHz of spectrum worth Rs 88078 crore.

The 5G spectrum offers ultra-high speeds which are about 10 times faster than 4G, lag-free connectivity, and can enable billions of connected devices to share data in real-time. It acquired a pan India footprint of 3.5 GHz and 26 GHz bands, it said. Reliance Jio ended up being the highest bidder as it acquired 24,740 MHz of spectrum worth Rs 88,078 crore.

This year, a total of 72 GHz (gigahertz) of radiowaves worth at least Rs 4.3 lakh crore was put on the block. The government had put on offer spectrum in 10 bands but received no bids for airwaves in 600 MHz, 800 MHz and 2300 MHz bands. It was followed by Bharti Airtel and Vodafone Idea Ltd.

India's biggest ever auction of 5G spectrum received a record Rs.1.5 lakh crore of bids, with Mukesh Ambani's Reliance Jio cornering being top bidder.

In a statement, Vodafone Idea said it participated in the spectrum auction to strengthen its pan-India 4G footprint and embark on a 5G roll-out journey. The government had put on offer spectrum in 10 bands but received no bids for airwaves in 600 MHz. Unlike the previous two auctions where no interest was seen in the 700 MHz band, this time there was demand across 22 circles with 40 percent of the total available spectrum being acquired. Akash M Ambani, Chairman, Reliance Jio Infocomm said the speed, scale, and societal impact of Jio’s 4G rollout are unmatched anywhere in the world. “Now, with a bigger ambition and stronger resolve, Jio is set to lead India’s march into the 5G era.” Reliance Jio was the top bidder, offering a cumulative bid of Rs.88,078 crore for 24,740 MHz of airwaves across five bands capable of offering speeds about 10 times faster than 4G, lag-free connectivity, and can enable billions of connected devices to share data in real-time. It acquired the coveted 700 MHz spectrum that can provide 6-10 km of signal range with one tower and forms a good base for offering fifth generation (5G) services, in all 22 circles or zones in the country. India’s biggest ever auction of 5G spectrum received a record Rs.1.5 lakh crore of bids, with Mukesh Ambani’s Reliance Jio cornering nearly half of all the airwaves sold with Rs.88,078 crore bids. He said the 26 GHz application will be for non-public networks, offering fixed wireless access. Telecom Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw said of the 72,098 MHz of spectrum offered across 10 bands, 51,236 MHz, or 71 percent, was sold. Supreme Court on petitions filed by BJP leader Subramanian Swamy and noted lawyer Prashant Bhushan canceled all spectrum and coal licenses and ordered for auction in 2012. Vaishnaw said the 600 MHz band, offered for the first time, did not receive any interest.

Reliance Jio, Bharti Airtel, Vodafone Idea, and Gautam Adani's Adani Data Networks were among the bidders for 5G airwaves.

Telecom Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw had earlier stated that the 5G auction underscored that the industry wants to expand and has entered a growth phase. According to PTI sources, proceeds from the provisional sale of airwaves amounted to Rs 1,50,173 crore. Monday was the seventh day of the auction.

With the advent of 5G, however, that stands to change in the next 3-4 years. For the Adani Group, the use case is likely to be in their own business hubs, airports, and other industrial zones. The 700 Mhz band had gone unsold in the telecom auctions of 2016 and 2021. It can achieve more than 300 Mbps of download speed in trial conditions, according to Qualcomm. The band is already deployed by telcos for 4G services across most of India's 22 telecom circles. In our country, however, that spend is much lower because tariffs have been among the cheapest in the world. While Reliance Jio's Rs 88,078 crore (nearly $11 billion) bid to acquire 24,740 MHz of 5G spectrum might seem like a costly affair on the surface, telecom analysts reckon it is a bet meant for the future.
