The Government of India has officially opened this band for licence-exempt use via Gazette Notification G.S.R. 47(E), dated January 20, 2026, published January 21, 2026, issued by the Ministry of Communications under the Indian Telegraph Act, 1885 and the Indian Wireless Telegraphy Act, 1933. Gazette details: Title : Use of Low Power and Very Low Power Wireless Access System including Radio Local Area Network in Lower 6 GHz Band (Exemption from Licensing Requirement) Rules, 2026 File No : 24-04/2025-UBB Gazette : No. 47, CG-DL-E-21012026-269488 Signed : Devendra Kumar Rai, Joint Secretary, Ministry of Communications URL : https://www.dot.gov.in/static/uploads/2026/02/88f0ac8c74eb6f6907934d17d0015ab5.pdf The Gazette defines two device classes for 5925–6425 MHz: 1. Low power indoor - Max EIRP : 30 dBm - Max PSD : 11 dBm/MHz - Max bandwidth : 320 MHz - Restriction : Indoor use only (Rule 5) 2. Very low power outdoor - Max EIRP : 14 dBm - Max PSD : 1 dBm/MHz - Max bandwidth : 320 MHz - Restriction : None Additional operational restrictions per Rule 5 of the Gazette: - Band is prohibited on oil platforms - Indoor use prohibited on land vehicles, boats and aircraft below 10,000 ft - Communication with and control of drones/UAS is prohibited - Contention-based protocol is mandatory for all devices (Rule 4) Out-of-band emission limit: -27 dBm/MHz outside 5925–6425 MHz (Rule 6) For now, add a rule for 6 GHz LPI. As the database does not support PSD information, the EIRP needs to be limited so that transmissions over a 20 MHz channel does not exceed the PSD requirements. This limits the max EIRP to just 24 dBm.
