To make 5G accessible, Vi has introduced an unlimited 5G data offer for plans starting at just Rs 299, making it one of the most affordable options in the market.
Speaking on the launch, Jagbir Singh, chief technology officer of Vodafone Idea, remarked, “Our focus is on introducing 5G meaningfully for our users. We have invested in building a robust 5G network by deploying the latest technology. By expanding our infrastructure, we are delivering a network that is ready for the future—seamless, powerful, and built for the demands of modern connectivity.”
Over the past year, Vi has raised equity of approximately Rs 26,000 crore, including India’s largest Follow-on Public Offering (FPO) of ₹18,000 crore. With a planned capex investment of Rs 50,000–Rs 55,000 crore over the next three years, the company aims to expand its 4G network to cover 90% of India and introduce 5G in key geographies.
