TRAI Launches Platform to Rate Property Digital Connectivity
India has launched a website that shows how well buildings support phone and internet connections.
The website is called the Digital Connectivity Rating Platform.
People can search for rated homes, offices, and other properties by name, certificate number, or location.
They can also compare ratings and scan a QR code to check whether a certificate is genuine.
Special agencies test things such as fibre readiness, mobile signals, indoor connectivity equipment, and Wi-Fi.
The agencies use a mobile app to record their measurements.
Property managers and rating agencies share information through the platform.
This may help people consider connectivity before buying or renting a property.
The system is voluntary at first, and people can object if they believe a rating is wrong.
TRAI launched the Digital Connectivity Rating Platform and a mobile app on Friday.
Consumers can search, compare, and verify rated properties using names, certificate IDs, locations, and QR codes.
Ratings assess fibre readiness, mobile networks, in-building connectivity solutions, and Wi-Fi infrastructure.
The platform connects property managers, registered rating agencies, and consumers through one digital interface.
As of publication, 23 agencies, 11 property managers, and seven properties were registered on the platform.

Supporters of the framework
Market and implementation concerns
Consumer protection
Supporters of the framework
Public, verifiable ratings could help buyers and tenants compare connectivity and make more informed property decisions.
Market and implementation concerns
The framework initially operates voluntarily, so adoption and the availability of ratings may depend on market participation.
Certification pricing
Supporters of the framework
Requiring agencies to publish ceiling rates on the portal is intended to improve transparency.
Market and implementation concerns
TRAI will not directly regulate certification prices; actual charges will be set through competition and negotiations between agencies and property managers.
Connectivity accountability
Supporters of the framework
Objections, formal reviews, audit trails, and possible penalties could improve rating accuracy and compliance.
Market and implementation concerns
Consumers and property managers may still need to challenge ratings they consider unsatisfactory or inaccurate through the review process.
