For now, 5G services will be available as an “unlimited add-on” for plans starting at ₹299. However, the duration of this introductory offer has not been specified. This initiative is crucial as the struggling telecom company aims to regain its foothold in the Indian telecom market, where the 5G network was first announced in October 2022.
