When can we see 5G in India?
-> Due to Pandemic situation Coronavirus (COVID 19)
All the industries are effected due to lockdown and the Indian telecom’s operators are one of them.
Now in India, there is a ban on usage of Chinese equipment which means telecoms cannot obtain 5G equipment from Huawei or ZTE, which used to be cost-efficient than others
On the other hand, before COVID due to JIO, all the telecoms have paid heavy losses even with the Idea and Vodafone merger it cannot handle the situation which is filing losses from the last few years. there are 4 main players in the Indian telecom’s AIRTEL, IDEA- VODAFONE, JIO, BSNL.
JIO is playing it safe and it gained more subscribers and become the largest telecom operator in Asia, it is now setting its steps towards 5G.
Airtel barely got out of the impact and it withstands well.
On the other hand, BSNL with least subscribes doing well but even now the 4G network is not available in many regions.
Ideas, Vodafone is continuously filing losses, survival is key for them now.
With these situations present in India even if JIO and Airtel ready to bring 5G.
