Vodafone Idea (Vi) has officially rolled out its much-awaited 5G services in the Delhi NCR region, marking a significant expansion of its next-generation network across India. Following earlier launches in Mumbai, Chandigarh, and Patna, Delhi NCR now joins the growing list of cities with live Vi 5G connectivity. The company is on track to cover all 17 priority telecom circles where it holds 5G spectrum by August of this year.
As part of its introductory offer, Vi is providing unlimited data to users with 5G-enabled devices on plans starting from just ₹299. This will allow Vi subscribers in Delhi NCR to experience significantly faster download speeds, seamless HD video streaming, lag-free online gaming, and low-latency cloud applications, ushering in the next evolution of mobile internet.
For the Delhi NCR rollout, Vi has partnered with the global telecom giant Ericsson to deploy its advanced 5G infrastructure. This network is built with enhanced energy efficiency and lighter hardware, further boosted by AI-powered Self-Organising Network (SON) technology. This technology optimizes network performance and ensures smooth transitions between 4G and 5G networks using a Non-Standalone (NSA) 5G architecture.
Vi’s aggressive 5G expansion is a key component of its ₹55,000 crore capital expenditure plan over the next three years. Rollouts are progressing in other important markets, with Bengaluru and Mysuru slated to be next in line for 5G coverage. In Mumbai, Vi has already witnessed encouraging adoption, with 70 percent of eligible users actively using 5G and approximately 20 percent of the city’s data traffic now running on the 5G network.
The company’s focus remains on constructing a future-ready, high-capacity 5G network designed to cater to the evolving digital needs of both individual consumers and enterprises. With the promise of advanced applications, intelligent connectivity solutions, and industry-specific innovations, Vi aims to be a central player in India’s ongoing digital transformation.
