DoT began process to seek Cabinet approval to dissolve the Digital Communication Commission
New Delhi, Delhi19 Aug 2026
The Department of Telecommunications has started the process of seeking Cabinet approval to dissolve the Digital Communication Commission (formerly the Telecom Commission), according to an official source cited by PTI. The article says that after dissolution, final decisions within DoT would be taken by the Telecom Secretary and then approved by the minister and Cabinet as required.
Why it matters
If approved and implemented, this changes the internal governance path for telecom policy decisions that have significant financial implications by removing an apex inter-ministerial commission layer.
