The 5G spectrum auction went live on Tuesday as scheduled. Four bidders participated, including Reliance Jio, Vodafone Idea, Bharti Airtel and Adani Data Networks. All the companies have put in bids so far. Complete four rounds of spectrum auction are over during the first day. The fifth round will start on Wednesday, i.e., July 27, 2022. The exact details of the bids aren't out yet, but multiple online reports and sources suggest that the bidders have largely focused on the mid-band spectrum. It makes sense as well because the whole game would be around the mid-band spectrum initially.
