Bharti Airtel, Reliance Jio, and Vodafone Idea have raised objections to NMIAL’s restrictive telecom infrastructure policies at the new airport.

The airport operator denies telecom providers the right to deploy independent 4G and 5G networks, mandating use of a single in-building system.

COAI alleges the monthly charges of Rs 92 lakh per operator are excessive and not aligned with underlying infrastructure costs.

This case highlights broader telecom infrastructure challenges at public facilities and has prompted an intervention request to TRAI.

These charges are grossly disproportionate and bear no rational nexus to the underlying cost of infrastructure.
— SP Kochhar, Director General of COAI, in a letter to TRAI Chairman Anil Kumar Lahoti.
