IMC 2023: Airtel to cover entire India with 5G by early next year

Bharti Airtel Ltd. will cover the entire country with 5G by early next year, Chairperson Sunil Mittal said on Friday.

Speaking at the inaugural ceremony of the 7th India Mobile Congress in New Delhi, Mittal said people from across the world are talking about the country’s digital revolution.

“The whole world believes that India’s digital infrastructure can accelerate the world economy… India is also becoming a world leader in terms of manufacturing,” he said.

As of now, 20,000 villages in the country have been connected with Airtel’s 5G services and the entire country will be covered by next March, according to Mittal.

“Satellite communications will serve every inch of our country. People from remote areas can be connected via our satellite station at Mehsana in Gujarat,” he said. Bloomberg
