In a major boost to India’s 5G services, Reliance Jio 5G has now been launched in Andhra Pradesh. Alongside this launch, Jio has also added another feather to its cap by becoming the first telecom to float a 5G-specific plan in India.
According to the official release, Reliance Jio on Monday launched its 5G services in the temple-town Tirupati and Nellore in Andhra Pradesh. With this launch, Jio’s total investment on its telecom network in Andhra Pradesh amounts to Rs 26,000 crore and also almost Rs 6,500 crore for 5G services.
In addition to this, Jio 5G has already been launched in multiple cities including Vishakhapatnam, Vijayawada, Guntur, Tirumala Hills, Agra, Kanpur, Meerut, Nagpur, Prayagraj and so on.
As per the release, Jio Andhra Pradesh CEO Mandapalli Mahesh Kumar said, “We are happy to expand our 5G network in Andhra Pradesh. By the end of this year, we will expand our 5G services to every town, mandal and village across the State.”
Coming to the launch of a full 5G-specific plan, Reliance Jio’s 5G plan has reportedly become the first in India to be launched with a ’61 data top-up scheme’ that provides 6 GB data to its users.
As per a report in the Economic Times, till now, only those Jio users who were on the ‘239 and above base packs with a 5G-enabled device,’ were eligible to receive Jio 5G’s welcome offer. However, with the company becoming the first telecom to have a 5G-specific plan, its users are open to new offers now.
India’s run-up to the launch of 5G services have been one of the biggest news maker of 2022. With the country’s biggest telecom brands like Reliance Jio, Bharti Airtel and others doing their bit towards this milestone, India is soon expected to have a full-fledged 5G network.
