TRAI recognised the need for a coordinated effort to build a comprehensive ecosystem for digital radio broadcasting. It recommended bringing together key stakeholders--radio broadcasters, transmission equipment manufacturers, and digital radio receiver manufacturers--to drive the development of digital radio in India.

The Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) has come up with a Consultation Paper (CP) on radio broadcasting, "Formulating a Digital Radio Broadcast Policy for Private Radio Broadcasters," on Monday.
Currently, radio broadcasting in India operates through analogue terrestrial systems across Medium Wave (MW), Short Wave (SW), and the VHF-II spectrum bands.
The VHF-II band, commonly known as the FM band, operates within the 88-108 MHz range using Frequency Modulation (FM) technology.
Public broadcaster All India Radio (AIR) offers services across MW, SW, and FM bands, while private broadcasters are limited to the FM band.
