The National Frequency Allocation Plan 2025 (NFAP-2025) released by DoT to take effect from 30 December 2025, aligning India with global spectrum standards
**Executive Summary**
The Department of Telecommunications (DoT), Ministry of Communications, has released the National Frequency Allocation Plan 2025 (NFAP-2025), a key policy document governing radio-frequency spectrum management in India. NFAP-2025 will take effect from 30 December 2025, aligning India with global spectrum standards. The document provides allocation of radio-frequency spectrum to various radio-communication services.
**Key Points / Main Content**
* **General**
* NFAP-2025 governs the management and allocation of radio-frequency spectrum in India.
* The plan will come into effect on December 30, 2025.
* It allocates spectrum within the frequency range of 8.3 kHz to 3000 GHz.
* Serves as a reference for spectrum managers, wireless operators, and telecom equipment manufacturers.
* **Spectrum Enhancements**
* Identification of the 6425–7125 MHz band for International Mobile Telecommunications (IMT), enhancing mid-band spectrum availability.
* Allocation of Ka, Q, and V bands for satellite-based services.
* Additional spectrum for In-Flight and Maritime Connectivity (IFMC).
* Support for Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X) communication, LEO/MEO satellite services, and expanded broadband connectivity solutions.
* Expanded allocations to support 5G, 5G Advanced, future 6G, satellite broadband, and V2X technologies
**Impact Analysis**
**Spectrum Managers, Wireless Operators, Telecom Equipment Manufacturers**
*Impact:* The NFAP-2025 serves as a key reference document for their operations, guiding spectrum allocation and management.

The Department of Telecommunications (DoT), Ministry of Communications, released the National
Frequency Allocation Plan 2025 (NFAP-2025) — a key policy document that governs the management
and allocation of radio-frequency spectrum in India. NFAP-2025 will come into effect from 30 December
2025.
The NFAP-2025 will provide the allocation of radio-frequency spectrum to various radio-communication
services in the frequency range 8.3 kHz to 3000 GHz. It serves as an essential reference for spectrum
managers, wireless operators, and telecom equipment manufacturers.
Key Enhancements in NFAP-2025
NFAP-2025 introduces several strategic and future-ready revisions to meet the growing spectrum demand
for next-generation technologies:
Identification of the 6425–7125 MHz band for International Mobile Telecommunications
(IMT), significantly enhancing mid-band spectrum availability for 5G, 5G Advanced, and future
6G networks.
Allocation of Ka, Q, and V bands for satellite-based services, crucial for high-throughput Geo-
Stationary Orbit (GSO) satellites and large non-GSO satellite constellations.
Additional spectrum for In-Flight and Maritime Connectivity (IFMC) to ensure seamless
broadband access in the air and at sea.
Support for emerging technologies such as Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X) communication,
LEO/MEO satellite services, and expanded broadband connectivity solutions.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.
