TRAl extends last date to comments on Consultation Paper
Mumbai: In a recent notification release, The Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) had sought comments / counter-comments of stakeholders on the Consultation Paper on “Digital Transformation through 5G Ecosystem” dated 29th September 2023. The last date for receiving written comments and counter-comments from the stakeholders was initially fixed as 30 October 2023 and 13 November 2023 respectively, which have been extended twice.
The last date for submission of written comments was 26 December 2023 and that for counter-comments is now 8 January, 2024. Meanwhile TRAI has received requests from Industry Associations for further extension of timeline for submission of comments citing various reasons like difficulty in collecting the inputs from their members due to Christmas and New Year.
They have also mentioned that the Indian Parliament has passed the new Telecom Bill-2023 very recently, so the comments need to be updated accordingly. Keeping in view the requests of stakeholders, TRAI decided to extend the last date for submission of written comments up to 22 January 2024 and for counter-comments up to 5 February 2024.

Bullet microdrama app crosses 10 million downloads on Play Store
Top shows clock millions of views as platform expands across 7 languages
MUMBAI: Short, sharp and shooting ahead, Bullet microdrama app is proving that in the age of shrinking attention spans, brevity isn’t just the soul of wit, it’s the engine of growth. The platform has crossed 10 million downloads on the Google Play Store, marking a significant milestone as microdramas carve out a firm space in India’s fast-evolving digital entertainment ecosystem. The surge reflects a growing appetite for snackable, high-impact storytelling, with Bullet leaning heavily into quick, engaging narratives that resonate across diverse audiences.
The traction is visible not just in downloads but in content performance. Among its top titles, Rickshaw Romeo leads the pack with 9.1 million views, followed by Auto Raja at 3.4 million, Laxmi Raj at 2.6 million, Lady Boss, With Love at 2.2 million, and Dear Didimoni at 1.9 million. The numbers point to a platform steadily building repeat engagement rather than one-hit virality.
Beyond the app, Bullet’s digital footprint is also expanding. The platform has crossed 100,000 followers on Instagram, signalling a growing community that extends beyond passive viewing into active content discovery and sharing.
A key differentiator lies in its linguistic spread. With content available across 7 Indian languages, Bullet is positioning itself as one of the more inclusive players in the microdrama space, tapping into regional storytelling to drive scale and relevance simultaneously.
The milestone comes at a time when short-format storytelling is gaining serious momentum, with platforms experimenting to balance volume, novelty and retention. Bullet’s early traction suggests that audiences are not just scrolling, they’re sticking around, one bite-sized episode at a time.
