5G Services in the Country

Telecom Service Providers (TSPs) have started providing 5G services in the country from 01.10.2022 onwards. As of 31.01.2023, 5G services have been started in 238 cities distributed across all licensed service areas.

The Government has established a road map to make 5G services available in different parts of the country through rollout obligations. As per the Notice Inviting Application (NIA) dated 15-06-2022 for the auction of spectrum and the license conditions, the rollout obligations are required to be met over a period of five years, in a phased manner, from the date of allocation of spectrum. Further expansion of mobile networks beyond the mandatory rollout obligations depends on the techno-commercial consideration of the Telecom Service Providers (TSPs).
