India Adds Over 4,000 New 5G BTS in June 2025

India added over 4,000 new 5G base stations (BTS) in June 2025, slightly higher than the 3,299 BTS rolled out in the previous month of May 2025. Vodafone Idea (Vi) claims to be in the process of rolling out 5G in 17 priority circles, where the telco has acquired the 5G spectrum, by August 2025. This means roughly two months for the telco to complete its 5G rollout. The telco recently announced the next phase of its 5G rollout, with plans to expand 5G coverage to 23 additional cities. The state-run telco BSNL is also in the process of completing its Phase 1 4G rollout, with 95,000 sites installed across India, 90,000 sites commissioned, and over 74,000 currently live on the network, according to the Communications Minister.
