TRAI released recommendations for a digital radio broadcast policy, allowing analogue FM channels to add a digital layer. It proposes a single technology standard and auctioning new frequencies in 13 major cities, including Delhi and Mumbai, as the first step towards India's digital radio shift. Existing broadcasters can migrate voluntarily to simulcast mode, enabling multiple channels.
