Vodafone Idea (Vi), the third-largest private telecommunications service provider in India, is reportedly preparing to launch 5G services in Mumbai this month. The company has officially stated that its commercial rollout will begin this month, with plans to expand to Delhi, Bangalore, Chandigarh, and Patna in April 2025. TelecomTalk recently reported on Vi’s 5G trials in Mumbai, and some readers have been able to latch onto the 5G network and experience it on their devices. A TelecomTalk reader, who appears to be from Mumbai, shared a video with live speed test results across multiple locations in the city.
