OUR DILIGENCE

How we benchmark and audit every partner

Being DoT-approved is the entry ticket, not the finish line. Before any provider earns a place on our platform — and before we advise you on their commercials — we put them through a structured audit.

🏛️

Licence verification

We confirm the provider holds the right valid DoT licence or authorisation for the services they sell, and that it’s in good standing.

🛡️

Security & compliance

We check adherence to security conditions, lawful interception readiness and data-handling obligations expected under Indian rules.

📊

Performance benchmarking

We benchmark uptime, SLAs, coverage and support responsiveness against peers, so you’re compared like-for-like.

💰

Commercial fairness

We scrutinise pricing, contract terms and hidden charges, so the commercials we advise on are transparent and competitive.

🏦

Financial & track record

We review financial stability, references and delivery history — a licence means little if a vendor can’t deliver and support.

🔄

Ongoing review

Approval isn’t permanent — we re-check licence status, compliance and service quality periodically, and act on customer feedback.

✓ Only verified partners advance

✓ Advice only after audit

✓ Re-audited on a schedule

✓ Your interests first, always

Assess & advise

We understand your business and tell you which DoT licence or authorisation you actually need — and which you don't.

Prepare & apply

We help compile documentation, entry fees, bank guarantees and forms, and submit a clean application through the right DoT channel.

Liaise to grant

We track the application, respond to queries and coordinate clearances such as security and SACFA until the licence is granted.

Comply, manage & renew

Post-grant, we help with compliance reporting, fee/AGR filings, amendments, migration to the new authorisation regime, and renewals.

Expand

Scale your business confidently with flexible telecom solutions designed to support growth, connectivity, and long-term success.

Why This Matters

Working with approved vendors isn't bureaucracy — it protects you

An unlicensed or non-compliant provider can be shut down, leaving you scrambling for connectivity, exposed on data and security, and potentially liable. By listing only DoT-approved, audited partners, we make sure the providers we advise on are legitimate, accountable and safe to build your business on.

Valid DoT licence or authorisation for every service sold
Security and lawful-interception obligations respected
Transparent, benchmarked commercials — audited before we advise
Continuity you can rely on, not a grey-market risk

Why buy through Telecoms Supermarket

Built to protect the buyer, not the vendor

Approved-Only Partners

Every vendor and telecom service provider we list holds a valid DoT licence or authorisation — we verify it before they ever reach you.

Find a partner

Audited before we advise

We benchmark performance, security and commercials independently, so our advice is grounded in diligence — not vendor sales decks.

Rajesh Kumar ★ 4.9 Trusted Partners

"We'd nearly signed with a cheap provider before learning they weren't properly licensed. Telecoms Supermarket steered us to a DoT-approved partner and explained exactly why it mattered. That advice saved us a real headache."

Director, Enterprise IT, Mumbai

Priya Sharma ★ 4.9 Trusted Partners

"We needed an ISP authorisation to launch our service and had no idea where to start. They assessed our case, prepared the application and liaised with DoT until it was granted. We'd have been lost otherwise."

Co-founder, Regional ISP, Bengaluru

Arjun Verma ★ 4.9 Trusted Partners

"For our captive private network we had to get the right authorisation and stay compliant. Their team handled the paperwork and now manages our renewals and filings. Compliance stopped being something we worry about."

Head of Networks, Manufacturing, Delhi NCR

Neha Gupta ★ 4.9 Trusted Partners

"Navigating OSP registrations was a nightmare until we partnered with Telecoms Supermarket. They laid out exactly what was needed and handled the compliance paperwork directly with DoT."

Operations Manager, BPO, Pune

Vikram Singh ★ 4.9 Trusted Partners

"We rely on DCIP and IP-1 authorisations. They didn't just help us find the right providers, they showed us how the incoming Telecom Act changes would affect our bottom line. Real expertise."

Common Questions

DoT, approvals and licensing — explained

The Department of Telecommunications (DoT), under the Ministry of Communications, is the authority that licenses and regulates telecom services in India. Providing telecom services or operating networks requires a DoT licence or authorisation. Buying from a DoT-approved provider means your service is legal, security-compliant and far less likely to be disrupted by regulatory action — which is why we list approved partners only.

Because an unlicensed or non-compliant provider is a risk you inherit — service can be shut down, data and security obligations may be unmet, and continuity is uncertain. By restricting our platform to DoT-approved, audited partners, we make sure the providers we advise on are legitimate and accountable, so you can build on them with confidence.

Before any provider is listed and before we advise on their commercials, we verify their DoT licence is valid and in good standing, check security and lawful-interception compliance, benchmark performance and SLAs against peers, scrutinise pricing and contract terms, and review financial stability and track record. Approval isn t permanent — we re-check periodically and act on customer feedback.

Common ones include the Unified Licence (UL) with service authorisations such as Access, NLD, ILD and ISP; GMPCS for satellite services; IP-1 (and the proposed DCIP) for infrastructure; OSP registration for contact centres; CNPN for captive private networks; and PM-WANI for public Wi-Fi. Radio equipment and spectrum also involve WPC licensing, SACFA clearance and equipment type approval (ETA). The licence explorer above is a starting guide; we confirm what applies to you.

Yes. We assess which authorisation you need, help compile documentation, fees and bank guarantees, submit the application through the right DoT channel, and track it through clearances to grant. After that we support compliance reporting, fee filings, amendments, migration to the new authorisation regime and renewals. This is advisory support, not legal representation, and final decisions rest with DoT.

The Act is modernising India s telecom regime, moving from the old licence structure to an authorisation framework with categories for main, miscellaneous, captive and broadcasting services, and authorisations valid for 20 years. The new regime is currently voluntary — existing licensees can continue and migrate over time. We help partners and clients understand the transition and migrate cleanly. This is general guidance; always confirm current requirements with DoT.
