Bharti Airtel expands 5G services across Tamil Nadu, reaches 5.9 million users

Bharti Airtel, a leading telecommunications service provider in India, today announced a significant milestone with 5.9 million customers now using its 5G services in Tamil Nadu. This achievement underscores the company’s successful expansion of next-generation mobile connectivity throughout the state, covering all cities and districts.

Over the past six months, Airtel has seen a sharp increase in 5G users in Tamil Nadu due to its extensive network deployment. The service has been extended to major cultural and tourist sites, including the architectural marvels of Mahabalipuram, the pilgrimage site of Madurai, and scenic locations such as Ooty and Coonoor, ensuring widespread accessibility.

Tarun Virmani, CEO of Tamil Nadu at Bharti Airtel, commented on the expansion, “We are making significant strides in building the network infrastructure required to facilitate widespread adoption of 5G in Tamil Nadu. We express our gratitude to our valued customers who have upgraded to enjoy the power of unlimited 5G service at no additional cost. Our tireless efforts are to keep our customers consistently connected to the state’s fastest, most reliable, and cutting-edge network.”

The rapid deployment and adoption of 5G in Tamil Nadu can be attributed to several factors, including enhanced network capabilities, accelerated rollout plans, and the increased availability of 5G-capable devices. In a strategic move to make this technology accessible to more consumers, Airtel has partnered with Poco to offer 5G smartphones for under INR 10,000. This initiative has significantly contributed to the growth of Airtel’s 5G user base in the region.

To further facilitate the upgrade to 5G, Airtel has expanded its retail presence in Tamil Nadu, increasing the number of physical stores. This expansion has improved customer service and convenience, helping more users transition to 5G effortlessly.

The expansion of 5G services by Bharti Airtel in Tamil Nadu represents a major step forward in the adoption of advanced telecommunications technologies across India. By providing high-speed, reliable connectivity at affordable prices, Airtel is not only enhancing the user experience but also setting a benchmark for 5G deployment in the country. This development is likely to have a positive impact on the region’s economy and technological advancement, driving further digital transformation.
