Vodafone Idea expands 5G services to these cities

Telecom operator Vodafone Idea (Vi) has announced the expansion of its 5G services across West Bengal, strengthening its presence in key industrial, commercial, and tourism hubs. Vi 5G is now live in Malda, Haldia, and Berhampur, with plans to roll out services in Durgapur, Asansol, Habra-Ashoknagar, Burdwan, Kharagpur, Gangtok, and Darjeeling by June. This follows earlier launches in Kolkata and Siliguri last year.

The expansion targets industrial hubs like Durgapur and Asansol, port and commercial centres such as Haldia, and tourism-driven markets including Darjeeling and Gangtok. Vi said the rollout reflects its strategy to prioritize high data consumption centres and emerging urban clusters, ensuring enhanced connectivity where demand is rising fastest.
