India Adds Over 4,000 5G BTS in April 2025, Fewer Than in March

India Adds Over 4,000 5G BTS in April 2025, Less Than March
The pace of adding new 5G base stations (BTS) remained flat in April 2025—in fact, it was slightly lower than the number rolled out in March 2025. Bharti Airtel and Reliance Jio are done with large-scale 5G deployments, and Vodafone Idea (Vi) is in the process of rolling out 5G in circles where the telco feels it is of strategic importance based on handset penetration, as per its recent statement. Airtel has previously said that its 5G rollouts are ongoing as per the plan, and BSNL will also switch to 5G at the flip of a button once it finishes rolling out 100,000 towers of 4G in 2–3 months.
