The expansion plan for FY 2018-19 follows a fruitful FY 2017-18 which saw more than 6800 new sites being deployed and more than 3000 kms of optic fibre being rolled out in Rajasthan, extending its mobile broadband footprint to 44,200 towns and villages.

We will continue to focus and invest heavily in our network to offer enhanced speeds and coverage to our customers in Rajasthan.”

Once this network expansion program in Rajasthan completes, Airtel's mobile sites in the state would go up by 29% to 33,000, which further enhances the data speeds and voice qualities. The addition of fresh optic fibre would extend the company's fibre backbone to 23,100 kms, supporting the growth of high-speed data services in the region.
