Bharti Airtel has deployed over 3,400 new 5G sites across Maharashtra and Goa over the past 12 months, expanding coverage to 36 districts and serving 22 million+ customers. The company is averaging more than 9 new sites live per day, with focus on previously underserved rural districts like Gadchiroli, Nandurbar, and Sindhudurg. This network expansion aims to bridge digital connectivity gaps and support digital inclusion in remote areas. Airtel also launched an unlimited data plan at ₹399 for smartphone users to drive adoption. The investment reflects Airtel's strategy to stay ahead of growing data demand in the region.
Positive for shareholders as the aggressive network expansion strengthens Airtel's 5G footprint and customer base in a key market, though capital expenditure for these deployments will be significant.
