Kochi, October 23, 2023: Within 1 year of the launch of Airtel 5G Plus, Bharti Airtel (“Airtel”), one of India’s leading telecommunications service provider, today, announced that it has over 1.7 million unique 5G customers in Kerala.

Furthermore, it has also brought the recently launched Water metro stations in Kochi along with the famous Bolgatty Island onto the digital superhighway.
Commenting on the milestone, Amit Gupta, COO Kerala, Bharti Airtel said, “We were the first telco to deploy high-speed 5G technology in the state, and today we are delighted to be playing an important role in connecting lives of our customers.
