Bharti Airtel, a leading telecommunications service provider in India, has significantly expanded its 5G network footprint across UP East by deploying more than 4300 new sites over the past 12 months. This large-scale network expansion covers 48 districts in the UP East circle, reaching 34 million people across urban centres, growth towns, and remote rural villages.
The expansion, which involved adding an average of 12 new sites daily, ensures that customers experience consistent high-speed connectivity for work, education, entertainment, and digital payments. The enhanced network footprint will benefit customers in major districts such as Lucknow, Kanpur, Varanasi, Prayagraj, Gorakhpur, Ayodhya, and Jhansi, among others.
Amit Gupta, CEO of Bharti Airtel UP East, highlighted the strategic importance of the UP East market, stating, “Over the past year, we have deployed more than 4300 new 5G sites, building a resilient digital backbone that will enable growth, inclusion, and innovation across eastern Uttar Pradesh. This large-scale rollout ensures that millions of people across major urban centres, fast-growing towns, and remote rural communities can access fast, reliable connectivity to support their everyday digital needs.”
To further empower customers with uninterrupted digital access, Airtel now offers a fully unlimited data plan for 28 days, priced at ₹399. This recharge pack provides unlimited 4G and 5G data along with unlimited calls, designed for seamless streaming, studying, working, and staying connected without worrying about data limits.
Airtel’s sustained investments in network density across rural, semi-urban villages, highways, border areas, and key economic and cultural corridors ensure robust, future-ready connectivity even in high mobility and high usage zones.
