DoT releases National Frequency Allocation Plan 2025, effective 30 December 2025
The Department of Telecommunications released the National Frequency Allocation Plan 2025 (NFAP-2025), effective 30 December 2025, identifying the 6425â7125 MHz band for IMT and Ka, Q and V bands for satellite services.
Summary
The National Frequency Allocation Plan 2025 (NFAP-2025), released by the Department of Telecommunications, came into effect on 30 December 2025 as the policy document governing the allocation of radio-frequency spectrum in India across 8.3 kHz to 3000 GHz. NFAP-2025 identifies the 6425â7125 MHz band for International Mobile Telecommunications to boost mid-band spectrum for 5G, 5G Advanced and future 6G, and allocates Ka, Q and V bands for high-throughput geostationary and large non-geostationary satellite constellations. NFAP-2025 also adds spectrum for In-Flight and Maritime Connectivity and supports Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X) communication.
