1. 📘 Introduction

In India, wireless communication equipment like Wi-Fi routers, walkie-talkies, RFID devices, drones, and other RF-enabled equipment require licensing through WPC (Wireless Planning & Coordination Wing). Depending on the nature of possession and distribution, applicants must obtain a DPL (Dealer Possession License) or NDPL (Non-Dealer Possession License).

These licenses are essential for businesses involved in the import, possession, sale, or usage of wireless equipment to ensure compliance with national frequency and spectrum regulations.

2. 📄 Types of Licenses Offered

Under WPC, the following license types are available:

🟢 DPL – Dealer Possession License

For dealers or companies engaged in:

  • Import and sale of wireless equipment
  • Distribution to third parties
  • Resale of RF-based devices

🔵 NDPL – Non-Dealer Possession License

For entities that:

  • Use RF equipment internally
  • Do not resell or distribute
  • Require licensing for in-house R&D, testing, or internal operations

📝 Note: Both licenses fall under non-network licensing from WPC.

3. 👤 Who Needs These Services?

You need DPL/NDPL if you are:

  • An importer or distributor of RF devices
  • A startup using LoRa, RFID, ZigBee for IoT
  • A drone manufacturing company
  • A research lab or testing center
  • A company deploying private wireless systems
  • Any business using wireless microphones, walkie-talkies, or RFID-based inventory systems

Failure to obtain proper licensing may lead to seizure of equipment, legal penalties, or import rejections.
