Vodafone Idea plans to launch 5G across the country by March this year. In the initial phase, the company will launch this service in 75 cities across 17 telecom circles. 5G will be rolled out in both industrial and urban areas, where high-speed data is typically used.
Jio and Airtel have already launched 5G services in the country. Both these companies have the largest number of 5G subscribers in the market. Vodafone Idea is finally bringing the fifth generation high speed network even though it is a bit behind in the race. Sources claim that the company's 5G recharge prices may be relatively low.

VI may launch recharge plans at 15 percent lower prices than Jio and Airtel. Akshay Mundra, the company's CEO, hinted at a recent meeting that Vi will set the final price to attract price-sensitive customers and reduce customer costs.
He further said, “Vodafone Idea is preparing to launch 5G services. We are committed to providing the best experience and value. The company is also going to improve 4G coverage. 5G will be rolled out soon in major cities with adequate and competitive 5G spectrum in 17 telecom circles.
Incidentally, Vi recently signed a Rs 30,000 crore deal with Nokia, Ericsson and Samsung for Vi 4G and 5G network upgrade. The company aims to deploy 5G at 75,000 sites within three years, using a combination of 3.5 GHz and 1,800 MHz spectrum bands for the initial rollout.
