 【New Delhi】The government on May 1 released draft of new telecom policy - National Digital Communications Policy 2018 and unveiled the broad contours of the next telecom policy which will aim to attract investments worth $100 billion by 2020 in the digital communications sector, create four million additional jobs, provide access of broadband with 50 megabit per second to every citizen and enhance the sector’s contribution to 8% of India’s GDP from about 6% in 2017, while adhering to the principles of net neutrality. According to a 22-page document issued by the Department of Telecommunications (DoT), under the The National Digital Communications Policy, 2018, the government plans to optimally price spectrum, review levies such as license fees and spectrum usage charges as well as M&A rules to ease exits while also taking a fresh look at spectrum sharing, leasing and trading guidelines, as part of its approach that spectrum is a key natural resource which is to be used for public benefit. ○Auto sales: New fiscal begins on strong note  【New Delhi/Mumbai】India’s automobile companies started the new financial year on a strong note, with companies posting robust sales in April and predicting continuation of the trend.
