In parallel with its 5G roll out, Vi has also significantly upgraded its 4G network in Gujarat to deliver enhanced coverage, faster data speeds, and overall superior user experience. Since March 2024, it has successfully deployed 900 MHz spectrum on more than 6,300 sites, as well as upgraded 900 MHz spectrum capacity across more than 1100 sites, to strengthen indoor coverage. Vi has also added 2100 MHz spectrum to more than 4900 sites. Additionally, 1500+ new sites have been added across the State. These network augmentations implemented over 15 months between April 2024 and June 2025 have led to 35 percent capacity increase in Gujarat, underscoring Vi’s commitment to deliver consistent and high-quality connectivity across urban and rural areas.
Vi remains committed to building a future-ready network that meets the evolving digital needs of consumers and businesses. For more details on availability, pricing, and supported devices, visit: https://www.myvi.in/5g-network
