Vodafone Idea (Vi) is launching 5G services in Delhi NCR from May 15, 2025, adding to its existing 5G footprint in Mumbai, Chandigarh, and Patna. The company plans to roll out 5G across all 17 priority circles where it holds 5G spectrum by August 2025. The introductory 5G offer includes unlimited data for 5G-enabled users on plans starting at ₹299. The Delhi NCR rollout is being done in partnership with Ericsson, using AI-powered Self-Organising Network technology and a 5G Non-StandAlone architecture. This expansion is part of Vi's ₹55,000 crore capex plan spread over three years. In Mumbai, 5G already covers 70% of eligible users and carries about 20% of Vi's data traffic, while Bengaluru and Mysuru are next on the rollout map.
The accelerated 5G rollout could help Vi better compete with Reliance Jio and Bharti Airtel, potentially aiding subscriber retention and ARPU improvement, but the heavy ₹55,000 crore capex over three years will keep financial pressure on the company in the near term.
