The company announced the development on Wednesday, stating that the national capital is now part of its expanding high-speed network footprint.

'Delhi-NCR joins a growing list of cities benefiting from our cutting-edge network, with Bengaluru and Mysuru among the next in line.' Vi's ambitious ₹ 55,000 crore capital expenditure programme over three years underpins the nationwide 5G rollout. The initiative reflects the company's commitment to upgrading digital infrastructure and improving connectivity across India's urban hubs. As part of its launch offer, Vi is providing unlimited 5G data to customers with compatible devices, available on plans starting from ₹ 299.

The partnership has led to the deployment of next-generation 5G infrastructure known for its improved energy efficiency and lighter, more compact hardware. Moreover, Vi has also implemented AI-powered Self-Organising Network (SON) technology to optimise performance and coverage dynamically. The network operates on a 5G Non-Standalone (NSA) architecture, allowing for smooth interoperability between existing 4G networks and the new 5G layer.
