India is witnessing the world’s fastest 5G rollout. Ashwini Vaishnaw, union telecom minister, said that there are now 3,00,000 5G sites deployed in the country. Bharti Airtel and Reliance Jio are the two telecom operators that are continuously rolling out 5G in the nation. Jio has so far reached 90% of census towns and cities with its 5G.
