Bharti Airtel has deployed additional sites in the Nashik district of Maharashtra to densify its network. The telco has undertaken the Nashik network enhancement project across 1,250 villages covering a population base of 2.6 million.
The customers in tehsils of Igatpuri, Trimbakeshwar, Dindori, Peth, Kalwan, Surgana, Chandwad, Deola, Baglan, Malegaon, Nandgaon, Yeola, Niphad, and Sinnar under the Nashik district will benefit from this network enhancement.
The company augmented its network coverage across 5,000 villages, covering the entire state of Maharashtra, under Rural Enhancement Project (REP). It also aims at augmenting network connectivity across 60,000 villages in the country by 2024.
The REP covered nine districts of Maharashtra, including Ahmednagar, Sambhaji Nagar, Bid, Jalgaon, Nashik, Solapur, Nanded, Jalna, and Buldana. This will help the company to expand coverage in rural villages in the state, extending services into rural and unconnected areas.
The company has also enhanced its fibre presence in the state by deploying additional capacities, which will support the growth of demand for high-speed data services in this region. Airtel’s network in the region now covers all key urban, semi-urban, and rural areas, including highways, tourist destinations, and trade centres.
