New Delhi: In a move that may result in lower call charges, telecom regulator Trai on Tuesday slashed the rate paid by an operator for termination of mobile call on a rival network to six paise a minute, from the current 14 paise.

Trai said the new call termination charge will be applicable from October 1, 2017, and will be completely eliminated from January 1, 2020.

The cut in the charge runs contrary to the demands made by established operators, including Bharti Airtel, which wanted the termination rate to be raised and benchmarked against the actual cost.
