They have teamed up with Ericsson to handle 5G infrastructure deployment in Delhi-NCR. Vi is using AI-powered self-organising network (SON) tech to optimise and stabilise its network which is crucial in densely packed urban areas. This entire rollout is part of Vi’s Rs 55,000 crore capex plan over the next three years.
If you have a 5G-compatible device, Vi if offering an introductory deal where you can get unlimited 5G data starting at just Rs 299. The offer is aimed at boosting adoption and includes high-speed streaming, lag-free gaming, fast downloads, and real-time cloud access.

Vi may have taken its time, but it’s finally rolling out 5G services with decent speeds, aggressive pricing, and the promise of AI-backed network stability. If the services perform as well as Vi claims, we might just see a big comeback from the brand and this could even increase its market share.
