Will your mobile bill finally come down? India’s telecom market is dominated by just three private players—Jio, Airtel, and Vodafone Idea—and consumers have seen repeated tariff hikes in recent years. But a new set of telecom rules notified by the Department of Telecommunications (DoT) on June 23, 2026, could change the game. In this episode of Kharcha Paani, Shruti explains the new Telecommunications Authorisation Rules 2026, how they replace a decades-old licensing framework, what Virtual Network Operators (VNOs) are, why the government wants more competition in telecom, and how the new rules could impact mobile tariffs, data privacy, AI-based fraud prevention, satellite internet services like Starlink, and the future of India’s telecom sector. Will these reforms actually make your data packs cheaper, or is that still a long way off? Watch to find out.
