The apex decision making body at the Telecom Department Thursday decided to refer to TRAI for reconsideration the recommendations on spectrum auction amid industry's concerns on pricing.
The Digital Communications Commission (DCC), which met here Thursday, also approved the terms and conditions for 5G trials in the country, sources said.
The official privy to the development said that the DCC members felt that TRAI should revisit its recommendations keeping in mind government's overall objective of Digital India and Broadband for All.
They also noted that given the intense consolidation in the sector, TRAI should also aim to ensure adequate competition.
The Commission comprises senior officials from NITI Aayog, Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade, Department of Economic Affairs, Ministry of Electronics and IT, besides Department of Telecom.
