It identifies the 6425 7125 MHz band for International Mobile Telecommunications (IMT), thereby enhancing the availability of mid-band spectrum for 5G, 5G Advanced and future 6G networks. </span></p> <p><span style="font-size:14px">It also allocates the Ka, Q and V frequency bands for satellite-based services, which are critical for high-throughput geostationary satellites and large non-geostationary satellite constellations supporting broadband connectivity.</span></p> <p><span style="font-size:14px">In addition, NFAP-2025 enhances spectrum provisions for In-Flight and Maritime Connectivity (IFMC), enabling improved broadband services for aviation and maritime users. </span></p> <p><span style="font-size:14px">The plan also supports emerging use cases such as Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X) communication, Low Earth Orbit and Medium Earth Orbit satellite systems, and expanded broadband solutions. </span></p> <p><span style="font-size:14px">Collectively, these measures are aimed at ensuring that Indias spectrum management framework remains responsive, high-capacity and harmonised with global developments, while supporting the growth of the countrys digital and telecommunications ecosystem.</span></p> <p><span style="font-size:14px"><em><strong>(KNN Bureau)</strong></em></span></p> 44596 https://knnindia.co.in/news/newsdetails/sectors/dot-releases-national-frequency-allocation-plan-2025-to-align-india-with-global-spectrum-standards 2025-12-30 16:56:43 knnindia.co.in
