The government took action against 1.83 lakh telecom resources and blacklisted 263 senders in Q1 FY27 to curb spam. AI systems flagged 24.43 billion suspected spam calls and SMSs, while 1.085 million complaints were recorded. DND preferences helped block billions of promotional messages, the Ministry of Communications said.
The government on Tuesday said that action was taken against 183,000 telecom resources, along with blacklisting of 263 senders in the first quarter this fiscal (Q1 FY 27), as part of the enforcement action against Unsolicited Commercial Communications (UCC).
Enforcement targeted multiple layers – outgoing barring, long-term disconnection, sender blacklisting across all operators and SMS header blocking – to curb repeat violations, according to the Ministry of Communications.
Against 730.82 billion total calls originated in the telecom network in the country in Q1 FY27, total UCC complaints stood at 1.085 million -- approximately 1.5 complaints per million calls.
The TRAI DND App accounted for 89 per cent of all UCC complaints received by the Access Providers, said the Ministry.
