Several media agencies have stated that the Prime Minister would introduce 5G services from Reliance Jio and Airtel. Finally 5G is to launch in India for all the users in search of high connectivity speed.

Will users get access to 5G?

If you're asking if 5G services will be accessible to all users as soon as it is formally introduced, the answer is no. Instead, just a few towns would have access to 5G by Diwali, according to Airtel and Jio. Only by the end of 2023, more than a year from now, will the country as a whole roll out.
