Vodafone Idea Limited (Vi) has announced the launch of its 5G services in Indore, effective September 03, 2025. Indore becomes the first city in Madhya Pradesh (MP) to experience Vi’s next gen connectivity. This expansion is part of Vi’s ongoing 5G rollout across many cities, in its 17 priority circles, where it has acquired 5G spectrum.
Earlier, Vi introduced 5G services in major cities including Mumbai, Delhi-NCR, Bangalore, Mysuru, Chandigarh, Patna, Sonipat, Nagpur, Jaipur, Ahmedabad, Rajkot, Surat, Vadodara, Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar, Nashik, Agra, Kochi, Thiruvananthapuram, Kozhikode, Malappuram, Meerut, Madurai, Siliguri and Vishakhapatnam as part of its phased 5G expansion.
Commenting on the launch, business head, MP and Chhattisgarh, Vi, said, “As we launch Vi 5G in Indore, we are excited to bring the future of connectivity to MP. With our next-gen 5G alongside our robust 4G services, we aim to provide more options and an enhanced experience to our users. We are committed to systematically expanding our 5G footprint across MP and Chhattisgarh circle, in line with growing demand and 5G handset adoption.”
Further, to ensure a superior 5G experience in MP, Vi has partnered with Ericsson to deploy advanced, energy-efficient infrastructure and implemented artificial intelligence (AI) powered self-organising networks (SON) to automatically optimise network performance.
In parallel with its 5G roll out, Vi has also significantly upgraded its 4G network in MP and Chhattisgarh to deliver enhanced coverage, faster data speeds, and overall superior user experience. Vi has successfully deployed 900-megahertz (MHz) spectrum on more than 6600 sites to strengthen indoor coverage as well as upgraded 1800 MHz spectrum capacity on over 11500 sites. To enhance coverage, Vi has also added over 1600 new sites in the region. These upgrades implemented over 15 months from April 2024 to June 2025 have led to a 52 per cent capacity increase in MP and Chhattisgarh underscoring Vi’s commitment to deliver consistent and high-quality connectivity across urban and rural areas.
