5G services in India
Prime Minister Narendra Modi formally introduced 5G services on October 1st, 2022, after the completion of India’s 5G spectrum auctions in August 2022. Currently, only Airtel and Jio are the telecom providers that offer 5G services in the country. Vodafone Idea is yet to announce its 5G rollout in India. The non-standalone access (NSA) technology was first used commercially by Airtel. However, Jio is the only provider in India to use the 700 MHz bands and has decided to utilise 5G standalone access (SA) (5G low-band spectrum).
