Vi has taken a major step forward by expanding its next-generation Vi 5G network to eight more cities in India. This move is part of its ongoing mission to offer faster connectivity, better performance, and a seamless mobile experience to millions of users. With the latest additions, Vi is actively bridging the digital divide in emerging urban regions.
The cities added to the 5G map include Ahmedabad, Rajkot, Surat, and Vadodara in Gujarat; Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar and Nashik in Maharashtra; and Kozhikode and Malappuram in Kerala. These locations join an existing network that already includes major metros like Mumbai, Delhi-NCR, Bengaluru, and Patna, reflecting Vi’s focused rollout plan across India’s priority telecom circles.
This expansion strengthens Vi’s foothold in key regions such as Maharashtra, Delhi, Karnataka, Punjab, Bihar, Haryana, Rajasthan, Gujarat, and Kerala—where it already holds 5G spectrum. With 17 cities now on board, the company is on track to scale its next-gen network and meet growing consumer and business demands.
Vi 5G
The Vi 5G launched initiative continues in a phased manner, with earlier rollouts already live in cities like Mysuru, Nagpur, Jaipur, and Sonipat. Vi is also preparing to go live soon in Meerut, Vizag, Madurai, and Agra, expanding its digital footprint further.
One key takeaway from this growth is that user engagement has been strong—Vi reports that over 70% of eligible customers in 5G-enabled zones have already tested the high-speed network. This uptake indicates both strong demand and effective deployment across its network.
To attract even more users, Vi is offering an introductory deal where customers using 5G-supported smartphones in eligible cities can enjoy unlimited 5G data. These benefits come bundled with recharge plans starting at just ₹299, making the upgrade affordable for many users.
In terms of technology, Vi is using AI-powered Self-Organising Networks (SON) to fine-tune its network performance. This not only boosts speed and consistency but also supports better energy efficiency. The company has partnered with global giants like Nokia, Ericsson, and Samsung for seamless 5G infrastructure deployment, combining world-class tech with local needs.

This aligns with Vi’s long-term digital vision to provide a robust network for both consumers and enterprise clients.
