NDTV
In cases requiring inter-ministerial consultation, the DoT will seek comments within seven days of receiving a complete application.
The Centre on Tuesday announced several key changes to simplify approval processes for telecom licences and wireless equipment, in its bid to further pursue structural reforms and ease of doing business in the telecom sector.
The Department of Telecommunications (DoT) introduced changes to the approval processes for issuing Experimental Licences, Demonstration Licenses, and Equipment Type Approvals (ETA). These changes are based on the recommendations of the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI).
"These reforms are aimed at reducing delays and simplifying regulatory requirements, fostering innovation and streamlining operations for businesses and telecom operators," said the DoT.
