In many areas, including national security, economic growth, and technological advancement, the telecommunications sector was essential. In addition to these broad patterns, the explosive growth of the Internet and mobile wireless communications worldwide in 2010 has had a significant impact on the global telecommunications industry. The telecom sector's contractual relationships have become more complex as the digital economy has begun to expand. Relationships are governed by telecom contracts, which cover everything from spectrum licensing and interconnection agreements to infrastructure sharing and service delivery. These agreements are not commercial in nature, but they are firmly rooted in a regulatory framework that is overseen by statutory organizations like the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) and the Department of Telecommunications (DoT). The objective of this study is to analyze the legal and regulatory framework of telecom contracts in India and to pinpoint the real obstacles, weaknesses, and changes required to guarantee the interests of all stakeholders are balanced.

By examining the laws, government regulations, TRAI rules, TDSAT rulings, and significant court rulings, this study employs doctrinal legal research methodology. The comparative insights from global telecom regulatory practices are also explained. In particular, licensing, interconnection, spectrum allocation, tariff regulation, and dispute resolution procedures were the main topics of the paper. It also looks at how new issues like the rollout of 5G, the merging of media and telecom, cybersecurity, and data protection are influencing contractual norms. Finally, it offers ideas or recommendations to improve regulatory supervision and telecom contract frameworks in order to promote competition, innovation, and consumer welfare in the Indian telecom sector.
