In a recent development, the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) has published the findings of its Independent Drive Test (IDT) conducted across various usage environments within the urban and rural landscapes of Eluru City, located in the State of Andhra Pradesh. The comprehensive evaluation was carried out under the watchful eye of TRAI’s Regional Office in Hyderabad during the month of November 2025.
The drive tests encompassed a wide range of mobile network technologies including 2G, 3G, 4G, and the latest 5G services. The objective was to assess the real-world performance of mobile networks across various usage environments such as urban zones, institutional hotspots, and rural residential areas.
The findings are expected to provide valuable insights into the coverage, data download speeds, and overall service quality offered by telecom operators in the region. This information will be instrumental in ensuring fair competition among service providers and maintaining high standards of mobile network performance for consumers.
These drive tests represent a significant step towards fostering transparency and accountability within India’s telecommunications sector. As more such tests are conducted across the country, consumers can expect improved services, better coverage, and faster data download speeds from their service providers.
