About Department of Telecommunications

The Department of Telecommunications (DoT) works under the Ministry of Communications as the apex body for shaping, implementing, and regulating telecom policy in India. Based at Sanchar Bhawan on Ashoka Road in New Delhi, it handles everything touching communication channels, from telegraphs and telephones to wireless, data, and telematic services.

Its main duties include granting licences for telecom services such as Unified Access Service, internet, and VSAT, managing radio frequencies in coordination with international bodies, and enforcing wireless rules by monitoring transmissions across the country, all of which place it at the centre of India's digital-infrastructure build-out and 5G rollout. It also oversees public-sector telecom firms and drives efforts to widen broadband and connectivity into rural and underserved areas.

Telecom startups, connectivity-solution providers, spectrum-technology companies, and digital-infrastructure ventures seeking licensing, regulatory guidance, and partnership opportunities in the sector benefit from engaging with it. It is online at dot.gov.in.
