The telco plans to expand 5G coverage across urban India by December 2023 and the entire country by March 2024.

“These are early days but the response from customers have been very encouraging. Our network is being built every day even as all 5G devices are now capable of working on the
Airtel 5G Plus<\/a> network barring a few exceptions which should also be done in the coming weeks,” said Randeep Sekhon, CTO, Bharti Airtel. “We will continue to advance our network with a vision to connect the entire country.”
