Vodafone Idea Limited (VIL) has launched 5G services across all 17 licensed service areas (LSAs) in India, marking its commercial entry into the 5G domain. However, this launch is on a small scale, meaning only a limited number of users can currently experience the service. Vodafone Idea has deployed 5G on both the 3.3 GHz and 26 GHz spectrum bands. The service is now available for both prepaid and postpaid users, with specific plans enabling access. Below are the details of the cities, areas, and plans where Vodafone Idea’s 5G is available.
In the mid-band (3.5 GHz), Vodafone Idea’s 5G service covers 17 circles, including Rajasthan (Jaipur – near Galaxy Cinema, Mansarovar Industrial Area, RIICO); Haryana (Karnal – HSIIDC, Industrial Area, Sector-3); Kolkata (Sector V, Salt Lake); Kerala (Thrikkakara, Kakkanad); UP East (Lucknow – Vibhuti Khand, Gomtinagar); UP West (Agra – near J.P. Hotel, Fatehbad Road); Madhya Pradesh (Indore – Electronic Complex, Pardeshipura); Gujarat (Ahmedabad – near Divya Bhaskar, Corporate Road, Makarba, Prahladnagar); Andhra Pradesh (Hyderabad – Aida Upal, Ranga Reddy); West Bengal (Siliguri – City Plaza Sevok Road); Bihar (Patna – Anishabad Golamber); Mumbai (Worli, Marol Andheri East); Karnataka (Bengaluru – Dairy Circle); Punjab (Jalandhar – Kot Kalan); Tamil Nadu (Chennai – Perungudi, Nesapakkam); Maharashtra (Pune – Shivaji Nagar); and Delhi (Okhla Industrial Area, Phase 2, India Gate, Pragati Maidan).
