Vodafone Idea is set to launch 5G services with competitive pricing to challenge Jio and Airtel. It has finalised $3.6 billion worth of contract to enhance 4G network and deploy 5G infrastructure

Vodafone Idea's 5G rollout aims to challenge the market dominance of Jio and Airtel, but its success will depend on its ability to offer competitive pricing without compromising profitability.

Vodafone Idea (Vi) is expected to launch its 5G mobile broadband services this year in March. It is reportedly looking to price the plans aggressively. Its 5G network is likely to be launched in 75 cities across the country.

Vodafone Idea (Vi) aims to launch 5G mobile broadband service in March 2025 with competitively priced plans. Vi will initially roll out 5G in India's top 75 cities, focusing on industrial hubs and high data usage zones.

This comes at a time when Vodafone Idea is backed by a ₹24,000 crore equity funding and is also expected to raise another ₹25,000 crore in debt.

Vodafone Idea plans to introduce 5G with competitively priced plans that could be up to 15% cheaper at entry levels.
