India added over 4,100 new 5G base stations (BTS) in October 2025 — fewer than the more than 6,400 BTS rolled out in September 2025. This brings the total BTS count to over 508,000 nationwide. Meanwhile, the Department of Telecommunications (DoT) is using social media to highlight how BSNL’s Swadeshi 4G is enabling villages across India to go online. “Farming, education, treatment, or employment — BSNL, with its indigenous 4G, is making everything easier,” the DoT said in a post on X.
