Airtel brings faster speeds and wider 5G coverage to millions in MP & Chhattisgarh with 2,400+ new sites

Bharti Airtel, one of India's leading telecommunications service providers, today said it has deployed more than 2,400 new 5G sites across Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh over the last 12 months, delivering faster speeds, wider coverage, and a significantly improved network experience for customers.

The company's network expansion across 87 districts now brings dependable, high-speed coverage to 36 million customers in bustling cities, fast growing towns, and even remote rural villages. With six new sites going live every day, customers can count on smoother streaming, faster downloads, uninterrupted online work and learning, and more reliable digital payments-no matter where they live or travel.

Customers in key districts, including Indore, Bhopal, Gwalior, Jabalpur, Rewa, Ujjain, Sagar, Raipur, Bilaspur, Durg, Dewas, Korba, Rajnandgaon and several others will directly benefit from this enhanced footprint. The expanded coverage will enable seamless access to high-speed 5G services, supporting the everyday digital needs of citizens, students, micro-businesses and government institutions.

"Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh are among Airtel's most strategic markets, and this expansion reflects our unwavering commitment to connecting the length and breadth of Bharat," said Ritesh Agrawal, CEO - Bharti Airtel for Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh. "Over the past year, we have deployed more than 2,400 new 5G sites, creating a robust digital backbone that will serve as a foundation for growth and innovation in these states. This large-scale rollout ensures that millions of people-across bustling cities, emerging towns, and remote rural villages-can access fast, reliable connectivity to power their everyday lives. Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh will continue to remain focus areas for Airtel, and we are committed to investing in advanced infrastructure, expanding our network footprint, and delivering world-class experiences to our customers as India moves rapidly towards a digital-first future.

To further deepen its presence across the two states, Airtel has invested significantly in strengthening network density in rural pockets where connectivity gaps previously existed. This includes increased site deployment across villages, highways, border areas and economic corridors that are seeing rapid digital adoption.
