Overview
- The Telecom Regulatory Authority of India put the Digital Connectivity Rating platform and companion mobile apps live on Friday, September 25, 2026, enabling accredited agencies to begin field assessments and publish certificates.
- Consumers can search the public portal by property name, certificate ID or location and verify digitally signed ratings with a QR code to confirm authenticity.
- Ratings follow a prescribed testing method that scores fibre readiness, mobile network availability, in‑building connectivity solutions and Wi‑Fi based on provider availability and signal strength recorded by an authorised DCRA mobile app.
- The framework is voluntary but includes market safeguards that ban exclusive developer–operator tie‑ups, require DCRAs to publish ceiling rates, keep a digital audit trail, and give TRAI powers to suspend or penalise non‑compliant registrations.
- TRAI reported 23 accredited DCRAs, 11 property managers and 7 properties registered at launch and said the scheme aims to push developers to plan connectivity earlier and help buyers avoid discovering poor indoor coverage after purchase.
