India’s Department of Telecommunications (DoT) is keeping an eye out for Vodafone Idea’s 5G roll out plans to make sure the company meets its deployment obligations, The Economic Times reported.
The telco is mandated to meet the minimum roll out obligations by September 2023 but hasn’t even announced any 5G equipment deals yet.
“Non-compliance attracts a financial penalty, and if there is a delay of service launch of more than 52 weeks, the spectrum assigned can even be taken back,” said a government official.
