TELECOM REGULATORY AUTHORITY OF INDIA

www.trai.gov.in

New Delhi, 20 July 2026 For Immediate

Release

TRAI Assesses Mobile Network Quality Across Dhanpur,

Jeehan, Karot Khas, Bharti, Paddar, Bharin, Bhota, Aghar and

Ladraur etc. under Hamirpur and nearby areas & Harlog,

Bhager, Auhar, Bharari, Zakatkhana, Jabal, Thapna,

Swarghat, Jamli, Kothipura, Ghaghas, Dehar and Salaper etc.

under Bilaspur and nearby areas.

The Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI)

has released findings of Independent Drive Test (IDT)

conducted across Hamirpur & Bilaspur and nearby areas

Route under HP LSA, during the month of May 2026, for

information of general telecom consumers. The purpose of

this drive test is to assess and verify real time quality of

mobile network services (both voice & data) provided by

Telecom Service Providers (TSPs). During the IDT, TRAI

captures performance of TSPs for key Quality of Service

(QoS) parameters like Coverage, Call Drop Rate (CDR), Call

Setup Success Rate (CSSR), data Download (DL) and Upload

(UL) throughput etc., which are then published to inform

Consumers and encourage TSPs to improve their services.

2. These IDTs have been designed to capture on ground

mobile network performance of all TSPs across diverse

usages environment like cities, hotspots, public transport

hubs, etc. In this type of drive testing, live data and voice

sessions are established using SIM cards from all TSPs over

2G, 3G, 4G and 5G networks. Multiple advanced test

handsets are used, and the sessions are monitored and

analyzed in real-time using advanced Software Systems.

3. TRAI, through its appointed agency, conducted drive tests

across Railway Drive from Chandigarh to Amb - 168.0 Km,

Highway Drive - 119.0 Km, City drive – 290.6 Km, Hotspot

locations - 08, Walk Test - 2.5 Km and Inter Operator Calling

at 01 location during 12th May 2026 to 16th May 2026 in HP

LSA. These tests were conducted under the supervision of

the TRAI Regional Office Delhi. The observations presented in

drive test reports represent the performance of the TSPs on

the area / route under test on the day / time of conducting

the drive test.

Information Note to the Press (Press Release No. 96 / 2026)

TELECOM REGULATORY AUTHORITY OF INDIA

www.trai.gov.in

New Delhi, 20 July 2026 For Immediate

Release

TRAI Assesses Mobile Network Quality Across Dhanpur,

Jeehan, Karot Khas, Bharti, Paddar, Bharin, Bhota, Aghar and

Ladraur etc. under Hamirpur and nearby areas & Harlog,

Bhager, Auhar, Bharari, Zakatkhana, Jabal, Thapna,

Swarghat, Jamli, Kothipura, Ghaghas, Dehar and Salaper etc.

under Bilaspur and nearby areas.

The Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI)

has released findings of Independent Drive Test (IDT)

conducted across Hamirpur & Bilaspur and nearby areas

Route under HP LSA, during the month of May 2026, for

information of general telecom consumers. The purpose of

this drive test is to assess and verify real time quality of

mobile network services (both voice & data) provided by

Telecom Service Providers (TSPs). During the IDT, TRAI

captures performance of TSPs for key Quality of Service

(QoS) parameters like Coverage, Call Drop Rate (CDR), Call

Setup Success Rate (CSSR), data Download (DL) and Upload

(UL) throughput etc., which are then published to inform

Consumers and encourage TSPs to improve their services.

2. These IDTs have been designed to capture on ground

mobile network performance of all TSPs across diverse

usages environment like cities, hotspots, public transport

hubs, etc. In this type of drive testing, live data and voice

sessions are established using SIM cards from all TSPs over

2G, 3G, 4G and 5G networks. Multiple advanced test

handsets are used, and the sessions are monitored and

analyzed in real-time using advanced Software Systems.

3. TRAI, through its appointed agency, conducted drive tests

across Railway Drive from Chandigarh to Amb - 168.0 Km,

Highway Drive - 119.0 Km, City drive – 290.6 Km, Hotspot

locations - 08, Walk Test - 2.5 Km and Inter Operator Calling

at 01 location during 12th May 2026 to 16th May 2026 in HP

LSA. These tests were conducted under the supervision of

the TRAI Regional Office Delhi. The observations presented in

drive test reports represent the performance of the TSPs on

the area / route under test on the day / time of conducting

the drive test.

a) Coverage Gap – The coverage distribution found less than the minimum specified signal strength

for the drive test route in auto-selection mode (5G/4G/3G/2G) during voice testing, is as below: -

Parameter AIRTEL BSNL RJIL VIL

Total Number of Samples captured on Drive test route 11112 10604 11115 11020

Number of Samples having poor signal strength 312 1501 341 1318

Number of Samples of No service 0 153 0 0

Note: Signal strength has been considered poor if it falls below −110 dBm for 5G & 4G, −90 dBm for

3G, and −85 dBm for 2G.
