The 2G spectrum loss is an alleged scam done by several politicians and government officials under the Indian National Congress.
The company NM Rothschild & Sons were choosed by the govenrment to design an e-auction mechanism in the world, a US$2.27 billion deal.
India calculated that the difference between collected money and estimated money is ₹1.76 trillion (US$27 billion), based on 2010 3G and BWA spectrum-auction prices.
On 02/04/2011:
a chargesheet filed by the Central Bureau of Investigation , the loss was estimated ₹309,845.5 million (US$4.8 billion).
On 2 February 2012:
The supreme court declares the spectrum as "unconstitutional and arbitrary", and cancelled 122 licences under A. Raja the Telecom Minister.
On 3 August 2012:
The Government of India revised the base price for 5-MHz 2G spectrum auctions to ₹140 billion (US$2.2 billion), hence raised its value to nearly ₹28 billion per MHz.
