The government notified the dissolution of the Digital Communications Commission (DCC) through a resolution dated 19 September 2026, ending the run of the Department of Telecommunications' apex inter-departmental decision making body after nearly 37 years. Formed in 1989 as the Telecom Commission and renamed in 2018, the DCC brought together senior officials from NITI Aayog, the Finance Ministry and the Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade to clear telecom policy matters, spectrum pricing and TRAI recommendations before sending them to the Cabinet. Its last meeting, held on 3 September 2026, firmed up the DCC's decision on satellite communication spectrum, which now goes to the Cabinet for final approval.
