TRAI Pushes Back Key Dates for Telecom Regulations Submission​

The Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) has issued a major update regarding its consultation on the "Draft Telecom Commercial Communication Preference (Third Amendment) Regulations, 2026." The authority has acted on substantial requests from industry stakeholders.

The original schedule required stakeholders to submit comments by April 12, 2026, and counter comments by April 27, 2026. These timelines have now been officially adjusted following industry feedback.

Reasons Behind the Extension of Consultation Period​

The decision to extend the deadline stems from the comprehensive nature of the proposed amendments. Stakeholders emphasized that the changes carry significant implications.

These implications span business, commercial, regulatory, technical, and financial domains. Such breadth necessitates detailed examination and thorough internal deliberation among the industry participants.

Revised Submission Timelines for Industry Experts​

In light of the complex implications, TRAI has announced revised dates for submissions. Stakeholders can now submit their initial comments by April 19, 2026.

The final deadline for submitting any counter comments has been pushed to May 4, 2026. This extension aims to provide all parties adequate time for due diligence and feedback compilation.

Guidelines for Submitting Comments and Clarifications​

Interested parties must direct their comments and any potential counter-comments regarding the Draft amendment to a specific email address. Submissions should preferably be sent via mail to advqos@trai.gov.in.

TRAI has stated clearly that no further extension regarding this consultation will be granted.
