How are the emission norms related to mobile communications regulated in india

1. How are the emission norms related to
mobile communications regulated in
India?
Indian regulations on power emission from mobile towers are TEN times
stricter than international norms. Indian regulations on power output of
handsets are 20% stricter than international norms. Internationally,
towers are permitted to radiate at a power of 4.5 Watts per square metre
at 900 MegaHertz 2G frequency. In India, this limit is one-tenth of the
international limit, at 0.45 watts per square metre. Similarly Indian power
levels are one-tenth that of international norms for 1800 MegaHertz 2G,
as well as 3G & 4G. Indian operators whose towers are found radiating
above the norms can be fined Rs Ten Lakhs per violation. Internationally
handsets are permitted a Specific Absorption Rate of 2 Watts per Kilogram
of Body Weight. Indian norms for handsets permit an SAR of 1.6 watts per
kilogram. All handsets manufactured in India or imported into India have
to meet the stricter Indian norms. The SAR value of all handsets sold in
India have to be mentioned on the box, and the handset manufacturers
are penalized heavily if their handsets violate the stricter Indian norms of
1.6 watts per kilogram. Some Chinese handset manufacturers whose
phones were emitting even at 5-10 Watts per kilogram were banned from
exporting to India.
