New Delhi, September 25, 2026 (Yes Punjab News)
The Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) on Friday launched the Digital Connectivity Rating (DCR) Platform to provide consumers with credible information on the digital connectivity ratings of properties and facilitate the end-to-end rating process.
TRAI has also launched a mobile application for testing digital connectivity as part of the initiative.
The platform provides a public interface through which consumers can view properties that have been rated for digital connectivity.
“By making ratings publicly searchable and verify the certificates, the platform will empower consumers with credible and comparable information. It will help them make more informed choices about homes and offices with strong and reliable connectivity, supporting smoother calls, downloads and access to online services,” said Anil Kumar Lahoti, Chairman, TRAI.
Lahoti said the platform would also help consumers recognise the value of digital connectivity infrastructure built into a property, while encouraging property managers to plan such infrastructure at the appropriate stage of property development.
Consumers can search for a rated property by its name, certificate ID or location. They can also view the property’s digitally signed rating certificate and verify its authenticity using the QR code provided on the certificate.
According to the Ministry of Communications, this will make digital connectivity a visible and verifiable attribute of a rated property, enabling consumers to consider connectivity information before making a final purchase or lease decision.
The platform brings property managers, registered Digital Connectivity Rating Agencies (DCRAs) and consumers together on a common digital interface.
“Registered DCRAs can access assigned applications, undertake assessments, record observations and test results, manage supporting documentation and complete the rating process in accordance with the prescribed framework,” according to an official statement.
Field assessments will be facilitated through a dedicated DCRA mobile application, which will enable authorised DCRAs to conduct in-building digital connectivity measurements in accordance with the prescribed testing methodology.
Property information received through the web portal and assessment data captured through the mobile application will be synchronised on the platform.
