NEW DELHI: In a move that could further reduce mobile tariffs, the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) on Friday ordered lowering of port charges by about 23-29 per cent for various slabs from April 1. Port is an essential part for the establishment of the interconnection between two networks. Port charges are paid by interconnection seekers to the provider (such as BSNL) for terminating interconnection links on the network. Issuing the amended regulations on port charges, TRAI said it expected that service providers would pass on the benefit of reduction in port charges to the consumers. The revised port charges will be in the range of Rs. 10,500 to Rs. 39,000, while the current charges are in the range of Rs. 14,000 to Rs. 55,000. Through its new order, TRAI has tried to address the long pending demand of interconnection seekers, mainly private operators.
