India earmarks upper 6GHz band for 5G, 6G mobile services in NFAP-2025
India’s new National Frequency Allocation Plan (NFAP-2025) sets aside the upper portion of the 6GHz band for current 5G and future 6G mobile services. The plan updates how spectrum is divided across sectors and technologies, aiming to clear the way for faster mobile networks and future upgrades.
Union Telecom Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia said the framework is meant to balance today’s spectrum demand with expected technological shifts, improve how efficiently spectrum is used, and simplify rules for telecom operators. The document is positioned as a roadmap for spectrum use that should support network expansion, new services and more predictable regulation for the industry.
