According to a Business Standard report, the country's telecom companies have demanded an increase in the international call termination charge to ₹5 per minute. According to industry officials, intervention by the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) has become extremely essential in this matter.
Officials have clarified that inequality is clearly visible in the current system of international calls. This inequality is also significant because the volume of incoming international calls coming from abroad is much higher compared to outgoing calls going out.
Keeping this situation in mind, telecom operators have made representations before the regulatory body to change the charge, so that the prevailing inequality in this sector can be eliminated and the industry can get relief.
