This process has started after the Government of India approved the auction of 5G spectrum. In this round of spectrum auction, apart from existing telecom companies Reliance Jio, Bharti Airtel and Vodafone Idea, Gautam Adani's company Adani Enterprises is also going to bid for 5G. The Department of Telecom is expected to earn between Rs 70,000 crore to Rs 1,00,000 crore from the auction of 5G spectrum. The government claims that the speed at which internet is available in the country at present, the speed of 5G will be 10 times more than that. Let us know some special things related to auction and 5G service.

The auction process for 5G spectrum began on Tuesday with bids for 72 GHz spectrum worth Rs 4.3 lakh crore. Reliance Jio has deposited an amount of Rs 14,000 crore with the department for the auction while Adani Enterprises has deposited Rs 100 crore. Four telecom companies of the country are participating in the auction.

Which company gave how much money

Companies have deposited an EMD of Rs 21,800 crore to participate in the auction. In this, apart from Jio and Adani Enterprises, Bharti Airtel has deposited Rs 5500 crore and vodafone-idea has deposited Rs 2200 crore. Here EMD means Earnest Money Deposit which can also be called Earnest Money Deposit. The government has eased the auction conditions, under which telecom companies will not have to pay spectrum usage charges. Also, companies will not have to pay upfront payment.

When will 5G service start

According to an estimate, the rollout of 5G service in the country can start in October. Although earlier it was told in the month of September. Even if this service starts in October, then not everyone will be able to use it. Later it will be implemented across the country. Let us also assume that 5G service will not work in every corner of the country at the same time, but it may take a few years. As we saw with 4G also. Right now even 4G is not present in the whole country.

Service will start in these cities first

According to the Department of Telecom, 5G service will be started first in 13 big cities of the country. These cities are Ahmedabad, Bengaluru, Chandigarh, Chennai, Delhi, Gandhinagar, Gurugram, Jamnagar, Hyderabad, Pune, Lucknow, Mumbai and Kolkata. It is not yet clear which telecom company will start its 5G service in which city. This will be known only with time.
