Vaishnaw, who currently holds the department of Railways, Communications, 
Electronics, and IT, stated his goal to reach 200 cities by December 2023. 
However, 5G service has already been launched in 397 cities, according to a 
Deccan Herald report. Recall that 5G services were officially launched by 
Prime Minister Narendra Modi on October 1, 2022. This was after India's 5G 
spectrum auctions closed in August 2022. 

The minister stated that India is on track to be the global leader in 6G 
technology, adding that the government would develop the infrastructure for 
6G networks by 2029. He didn't provide much information about the matter. 5G

Only two of Indias three largest telecom providers offer 5G services. Airtel 
was the initial service provider to implement non-standalone access 
technology. Jio is, however, the only Indian operator to use 700 MHz bands. 
It is also the only Indian operator to have deployed 5G standalone access 
(SA), which is a low-band spectrum. Read more

CRISIL, a rating agency, stated in the Report that by March 2025, about a 
quarter of all wireless data users in India, or approximately 300 million 
customers, will use 5G services. This compares to 20-25 million in March, 
2023. 

Naveen Vardyanathan, Director of CRISIL ratings, stated that approximately 
30-35 Percent of India's 150-170 Million smartphones are 5G compatible. 5G 
smartphone shipments will steadily increase, but 5G adoption will remain 
limited to 300 million users in fiscal 2025 due to the high initial cost and 
low value proposition. Here's our rundown of the best 5G mobile phones at the
