While other carriers like Reliance Jio and Airtel are competing with each other to roll out 5G in India first. Vi has yet to announce any fixed launch dates for the rollout of its 5G services in India. At India Mobile Congress (IMC), he said that the operator will roll out 5G services in India soon, but it remains to be seen.
Additionally, the Department of Telecommunications (DoT) has ordered Vodafone Idea to roll out its 5G services before taking any steps to convert deferred interest payments into principal. The government has told the operator to roll out 5G services and attract investors before the government converts its Rs 16,310 crore deferred payment into equity. The conversion will give the government a 33 percent stake in the company.
