Similarly, upcoming launches in Karnal, a key commercial and transit center, along with Rohtak and Hisar—known for their educational and administrative significance—reflect Vi’s strategic approach. Emerging residential and industrial centers like Bahadurgarh and Bhiwani are also part of this expansion, driven by increasing data consumption trends.
