Indian Telegraph Right of Way Rules, 2016

The DoT has, by way of a memorandum dated May 22, 2018, extended the benefit of the Indian Telegraph Right of Way Rules, 2016 ('ROW Rules') to Infrastructure Providers Category I ('IP-1'), by clarifying that under clause 2(d) of the ROW Rules, the term “licensee” includes IP-1s authorised to establish and maintain assets such as dark fibres, right of way, duct space and tower for the purpose of granting the same on lease/ rent/ sale basis to the telecom services providers licensed under Section 4 of the Indian Telegraph Act, 1885 on mutually agreed terms and conditions.The erstwhile ROW Rules did not cover IP-1s within the ambit of ROW Rules. However, the right of way was effectively permitted to IP-1s in their respective registration certificate(s) creating ambiguity. With the aforesaid clarification provided by DoT, this ambiguity has been removed.
