This rollout follows Vi’s recent 5G launches in Mumbai, Delhi-NCR, Patna and Chandigarh, and is part of the company’s strategic roll out in all 17 priority circles, where it has acquired 5G spectrum, by August this year
Vi users in Bengaluru with 5G-enabled devices can now access Vi 5G services, designed to power the city’s digitally savvy population with superior online experiences. As an introductory offer, Vi is providing unlimited 5G data to users on plans starting from ₹299.

Commenting on the launch, Anand Dani, Business Head – Karnataka, Vodafone Idea, said: “We’re excited to bring Vi 5G to Bengaluru, a city that stands at the forefront of tech and digital innovation.

Encouraged by the strong response and robust performance in our launched markets, we are committed to expanding our 5G footprint in line with growing demand and 5G handset adoption.”
To ensure a superior 5G experience in Bengaluru, Vi has partnered with Samsung to deploy advanced, energy-efficient infrastructure and implemented AI-powered Self-Organizing Networks (SON) to automatically optimize network performance. With successful integration of high transmit power, multi-technology supported, energy-efficient, small form-factor radios, Vi has enabled green solutions for a seamless 5G experience by Bengaluru's subscribers
Alongside its 5G expansion, Vi has significantly upgraded its 4G network in Karnataka to deliver enhanced coverage, faster data speeds, and overall superior user experience. It has deployed 900 MHz spectrum on nearly 3,000 sites to strengthen indoor coverage, doubled 2100 MHz spectrum capacity across 1800 sites, and added 2100 MHz spectrum to another 1,000 locations.
Additionally, Vi has bolstered its 1800 MHz capacity across more than 4,100 sites, enhancing both reach and data traffic handling capabilities. These upgrades implemented over 10 months have led to a 46% capacity increase from Mar’24 and underscore Vi’s commitment to delivering consistent and high-quality connectivity across urban and rural areas.
