What's new in NFAP 2025?
The NFAP 2025 will cover the allocation of radio-frequency spectrum to various radio-communication services from 8.3 kHz to 3000 GHz.
“It serves as an essential reference for spectrum managers, wireless operators, and telecom equipment manufacturers.” DoT said in the statement
DoT says that NFAP includes various strategic and future ready revisions to meet the growing spectrum demand for next-generation technologies. This includes the identification of 6425–7125 MHz band for International Mobile Telecommunications (IMT), which the government says will significantly enhance the availability of mid-band spectrum that is critical for the expansion of 5G, 5G Advanced, and future 6G networks
The NFAP also includes the allocation of Ka, Q, and V bands for satellite-based services that are crucial for high-throughput Geo-Stationary Orbit (GSO) satellites and large non-GSO satellite constellations (LEO/MEO).
The document also aims for the seamless availability broadband access in the air and at sea with the additional spectrum allocation for In-Flight and Maritime Connectivity (IFMC).
Additionally, the document carves out support for emerging technologies such as Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X) communication, which is essential for connected transportation systems.
“These enhancements will ensure that India’s spectrum management remains responsive, high-capacity, and harmonised with global standards, supporting both current and future digital innovations, which will help in enhancing development of eco-system in India.” the ministry noted
