Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) has empanelled Shaurrya Teleservices Private Limited, a leading neutral digital infrastructure provider, as one of the country’s initial ‘Digital Connectivity Rating Agency’ (DCRAs). As TRAI-empanelled agency, Shaurrya Teleservices will assess properties across India on critical parameters of digital connectivity, including fibre readiness, in-building mobile coverage, broadband quality and internet of thing (IoT) integrations. Properties will be assigned a star rating based on actual performance, in line with TRAI’s standardised methodology released in August 2025.
Commenting on the recognition, Pankaj Agrawal, chairman, Shaurrya Teleservices, said, “This is a defining moment for India’s real estate and digital infrastructure ecosystem. Connectivity is no longer a luxury but a core utility, just like water or power. With TRAI’s certification framework, we now have a transparent way to measure and improve how buildings perform digitally. At Shaurrya, we are aligned at fostering innovation in Enterprise Network services, generating meaningful employment, expanding business opportunities, and supporting small startups alongside large enterprises, all toward making India as global business hub with high standards of living and equitable opportunities.”
Meanwhile, Salil Ahuja, chief strategy officer, Shaurrya Teleservices, said, “We see this as both a responsibility and an opportunity. As one of the first eight agencies empanelled by TRAI, Shaurrya will not only certify properties but also work hand-in-hand with Telecom and Internet Service providers which will enable property developers to enhance their ratings through our infrastructure solutions, from IBS and fibre-to-the-home (FTTH) to 5G microcells. I have been a part of the evolution in UAE over a decade and now aim is to make India’s built environment future-ready, resilient and globally competitive. Enhanced connectivity leads to an improved customer experience at all levels.”
In addition, Sanjeev Goel, chief business officer, Shaurrya Teleservices, said, “This initiative will enlighten the entire telecom ecosystem as 80 per cent data consumption happens indoors and there is no mechanism to track the problem areas. This initiative will empower users to know the gaps and once these gaps are highlighted will become a source of information for telecom and internet providers along with the regulators.”
