Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may receive, from a base station, downlink control information (DCI) that includes a unified transmission configuration indicator (TCI) state indication to be applied for a channel or a signal associated with a control resource set (CORESET) pool index value in a component carrier (CC), wherein the CC is configured as part of a list for simultaneous unified TCI state indication across multiple CCs. The UE may apply the unified TCI state indication to the channel or the signal associated with the CORESET pool index value in one or more CCs indicated in the list. Numerous other aspects are described.
