Vodafone Idea (Vi) is set to launch its high-speed 5G services in Delhi NCR starting May 15, marking a significant step in its nationwide 5G expansion. The capital region now joins Mumbai, Chandigarh, and Patna as part of Vi’s initial deployment phase. The telecom giant aims to extend its 5G services across all 17 priority circles—where it has acquired 5G spectrum—by August 2025.
Vi 5G Introductory Offer
Vi is offering unlimited 5G data for users with 5G-enabled devices under plans starting from ₹299. Subscribers can leverage Vi 5G for enhanced streaming, gaming, video conferencing, faster downloads, and real-time cloud access.
Ericsson Partnership for Delhi NCR
For its 5G rollout in Delhi NCR, Vi has partnered with Ericsson to deploy next-generation 5G infrastructure that promises enhanced energy efficiency and lighter hardware. The network is powered by AI-driven Self-Organising Network (SON) technology to optimise performance and runs on a 5G Non-Standalone (NSA) architecture, allowing seamless transitions between 4G and 5G.
Nationwide Rollout Strategy
Vi’s 5G expansion is part of its ₹55,000 crore capital expenditure plan spanning three years. Cities like Bengaluru and Mysuru are next in line for 5G activation, with rollouts already underway in key markets across the 17 priority circles. In Mumbai, 70% of eligible users are already experiencing Vi’s 5G services, contributing to 20% of the city’s total data traffic.
Building a Future-Ready Network
Vi’s ambitious 5G deployment is designed to build a high-capacity, future-ready network capable of meeting the growing demands of digital India. By expanding its 5G infrastructure, Vi aims to deliver seamless, high-speed connectivity, empowering both consumers and enterprises through advanced technologies, smart applications, and industry-grade solutions.
