Here is the list of Airtel 5G available cities in India | Digit

Airtel is all set to deploy its 5G connectivity in all the metro cities of India by the end of the year. Airtel will end its task of deploying 5G in metro cities by the end of the year 2022. Airtel is also claiming that it will be providing 5G connectivity in all the major cities of India by the end of 2023. 

The race of deploying 5G connectivity in India is getting hyped day by day between the two major telecom operators, Airtel and Reliance Jio. Although Airtel is a little ahead of Jio in rolling out 5G because Airtel has used the NSA (non-Standalone) mode in which they only upgraded the former 4G infrastructure. While Jio was doing its beta testing on 5G, Airtel had already deployed 5G for commercial use because Jio had opted for Standalone mode which requires the change of whole infrastructure.
