TRAI is regularly monitoring the performance of Telecom Service Providers (TSP) against the benchmarks for the various Quality of Service (QoS) parameters laid down by the Authority. TSPs submit Performance Monitoring Reports to TRAI every quarter. TRAI also undertakes audit and assessment of Quality of Service through independent agencies to verify the Quality of Service claimed. The Audit agencies conduct sample ‘Drive tests’ across various cities in the country as part of audit and assessment of the TSPs’ performance.

In view of complaints on call drops and other network quality issues, on behalf of TRAI, an Independent Drive Test (IDT) was conducted by PhiMetrics Technologies Pvt.
