Vi planning phased 5G rollout with new tariff plans this year: CEO

Vodafone Idea (Vi) chief executive officer Akshaya Moondra said the beleaguered telco is preparing for a phased rollout of 5G and launching tailored “first-of-their-kind tariff plans” for customers this year.

He explained that thousands of new sites, mostly expected to be for 4G, will go live by March as part of the telco’s new partnership with the three global vendors under the three-year investment plan.
