Airtel 5G Plus Coverage: Comprehensive Report

5G services rollout began in India in the first week of October last year, and the two major telcos who have been competing to get to the top are Airtel and Jio. Airtel’s rollout began slightly earlier than Jio’s due to Airtel’s use of Non-Standalone 5G architecture, where they were able to roll out 5G via the existing 4G architecture. However, as it is a phased rollout, it might be hard for you to track whether the service is now available in your state/city. So here we are with a list of cities/states where Airtel 5G Plus coverage is already present. Keep in mind that even if it is live in your city, it might take some time to arrive in your particular locality. With that in mind, let’s take a look at the list:
