Vodafone Idea Ltd serving under the brand name Vi is now getting ready to shut down its 3G services across its circles in India by 2022 and will shift its focus towards 4G services. The operator will continue to offer 2G services, while its network is 5G ready as well.
The process will be a phased shut down which will finish after the operator is done refarming all its 2100 MHz and 900 MHz spectrum to offer 4G services. Vi has already commenced the process of refarming of 3G spectrum to 4G across 7 cities in Uttar Pradesh, which will substantially enhance GIGAnet 4G capacity in these cities.

Bharti Airtel - which recently declared that its network is 5G-ready - does not anticipate any material change in its capital expenditure profile with the advent of fifth-generation services, its CEO Gopal Vittal said on Thursday. Addressing an investor call after announcing a strong Q3 performance, Vittal also said that the company will shut down its copper infrastructure in a year or so, and only have fibre to the home. We are.in the process of rapidly upgrading our legacy copper assets completely to Fibre, he said, terming it a game-changing move . Outlining the company s spectrum strategy, Vittal said Bharti Airtel is keen on a full footprint of sub-GHz spectrum across the country, even as it looks to balance a combination of capacity and renewals.
5G rollout to not affect capex profile: Airtel CEO Gopal Vittal
As you invest in 5G, you will stop investing in 4G because capacity creation will be done on 5G which will obviously be lower cost of producing a gigabyte, given that you have much higher spectrum in those bands, Vittal said
