Airtel today announced that it is bringing its 5G service, dubbed as the Airtel 5G Plus, to the Union Territory of Ladakh. The company today said that in Ladakh, its 5G services will be available in the Districts of Leh and Kargil. Airtel also said that it will make the Airtel 5G Plus available in more cities in the Union Territory in due course of time.
It is worth noting that Airtel’s 5G services are available in Ladakh and other parts of the country free of cost. The telecom giant has said that it will continue to offer its 5G Plus network to its prepaid and postpaid subscribers at no additional cost until the roll out is more widespread. Additionally, Airtel’s 4G subscribers don’t need to change their SIM cards in order to access the company’s 5G services in the cities where the service is available. Airtel has already clarified that its 4G SIM cards are 5G enabled.
“Bringing 5G connectivity to our customers in Ladakh is in line with our commitment to bridging the digital divide and connecting not only the tourists who flock here to see the scenic landscapes but also the residents of this remarkable Union Territory,” Adarsh Verma, COO, Bharti Airtel, Jammu, Kashmir and Ladakh, said in a statement.
Notably, the development comes shortly after the company rolled out its 5G services in Port Blair in the Eastern cost of India.
